Women, politics and democracy: political labour in India and Indonesia

该项目旨在通过研究印度和印度尼西亚女性获得政治权力的途径和死胡同，增进对亚洲两个最大民主国家的了解。对妇女日常政治劳动的研究将考察她们对产生不同形式的权力的贡献，以及她们不利地融入政治结构。比较人种学方法将导致开发分析和概念工具，以便在不同的社会历史背景下理解民主。该项目旨在产生相关的政策和实践知识，以增加印度和印度尼西亚妇女有意义地参与政治，并为其他国家提供比较经验教训。

This project aims to advance understandings of Asia's two largest democracies through an examination of the pathways and dead-ends to political power for women in India and Indonesia. Research of women's everyday political labour will examine their contributions to generating different forms of power, and their adverse incorporation into political structures. The comparative ethnographic approach will lead to the development of analytical and conceptual tools to understand democracy across different socio-historical contexts. The project aims to produce policy and practice relevant knowledge to increase the meaningful participation of women in politics in India and Indonesia, with comparative lessons for other countries
