Comparative political representation of women France-Lebanon-South Korea-Russia Argentina-Turkey

This thesis comparatively analyzes women's political representation in France, Lebanon, South Korea, Russia, Argentina, and Turkey. The primary hypothesis is that women's political representation is systematically limited regardless of countries' development levels or socio-cultural structures. Using comparative political methodology, the research combines qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The findings demonstrate that despite varying representation rates across countries, male-dominated political structures, gender stereotypes, and inadequate institutional support mechanisms constitute common barriers. The study presents country-specific solutions tailored to each nation's socio-political structure.
