Reflections on women's empowerment through local representation in South Korea
Article Abstract:
The reasons for the failure of the current Korean feminist emphasis on increasing local representation for women are explored and ways are suggested to bridge the gap between men and women in political representation. The introduction of electoral reforms such as a multi-member district system and a quota system is recommended to address the problem of representation for women in the short run.
