It also examines the causes of women’s underrepresentation in governance and decision-making as well as their implications for the country’s socioeconomic development and describes strategies for increased women’s representation in governance and decision-making in Nigeria. This study relies on political-culture and liberal-feminist theory and adopts a mixed-method research design involving quantitative and qualitative methods. It uses multistage sampling in selecting Nigeria’s South-East, North-West and South-West geopolitical-zones and 1206 women of electoral age for the study survey conducted using structured questionnaire and in-depth interview.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Political Participation: Global Trends in Gender Disparity \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: A History of Women in Political Activism and Governance in Nigeria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Nigeria’s Gender Policy: Affirmative Action, Women’s Political Participation and Under-Representation in Governance \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Gender Disparity in Contemporary Nigerian Politics \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Strategies for an Increased Representation of Nigerian Women in Governance \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Acronyms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix I: Women in Politics Map 2017 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix II: Historical Timeline of International Events and Treaties Promoting Gender Equality \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix III: Geo-Political Zones of Nigeria \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix IV: Population Projection and Sample Size Calculation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix V: Questionnaire \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix VI: Interview Guide for the Study “Geopolitical Analysis of Women’s Participation in Nigerian Politics (1999-2015)” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix VII: Distribution of Acts of Political Participation by the Respondents (Women) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix VIII: List of Respondent for In-Depth Interview\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042480947543,"sku":"9781786615206","price":80.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781786615206.jpg?v=1750954322","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/promoting-gender-equality-in-political-participation-new-perspectives-on-nigeria-9781786615206","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
