Abstract:
This paper draws on theories of gendered organizations to examine discrimination against people with disabilities in the workplace. A sample of 200 cases which document disability discrimination lawsuits was drawn from the Westlaw legal database. Each case was coded for gender, job, disability and discrimination type and analyzed using multinomial logistic models. Of those 200 cases, 34 were selected for in depth qualitative analysis. This study finds that disability type and gender do have an influence on the type of discrimination someone is likely to experience. In addition, the qualitative

Although endowed with rich oversight bodies, policies and Acts, the state of financial management in South African government departments is illustrated in a number of clean qualified audits.

Abstract:
To overcome gender bias and long-standing inequalities, more than 110 countries worldwide are reported to practice gender quotas in some form. Nonetheless, electoral quotas are not uncontroversial, despite their political appeal and common adoption. Critics note that such measures run a danger of bringing to office individuals who lack the necessary qualifications and who may then be easily manipulated. Supporters in comparison argue that empowering members of groups who have historically been disadvantaged can result in more inclusive processes of policy-making - drawing in those previously e

Abstract:
Numerous authoritarian states use institutions usually associated with democratic regimes like a constitution, elections, and a legislature. This seems to be counterintuitive. Authoritarian regimes should rather shrink away from democratic institutions. Elections can be won by the opposition and legislatures can make decisions against the interests of the ruler. So, why do autocratic regimes install institutions which limit their power and threaten their survival in office? Assuming actors behave rationally, one should expect authoritarian rulers only to introduce procedures working in their f

Again in 2000, the People's Coalition Government headed by an Indian, Mahendra Chaudhry, was ousted in a civilian coup.
