Attitudes Regarding Political Leadership and Gender in Romania

The main aim of the book is to explore how gender is perceived in the Romanian society, focusing on multiple gender issues and different types of discrimination in the fields of politics, public administration and higher education. By adopting a holistic approach, we have the opportunity to carefully analyze not only the different types of gender discrimination which can occur in these domains, but also the relationships between these phenomena and the potential background factors related to the Romanian society. Considering the aforementioned aim, we need to emphasize that the current work should be seen as having an exploratory or descriptive nature regarding the potential relationships between the three domains. Furthermore, the present work also inclines towards more explanatory (causal) techniques, design and methods in an attempt to provide a more clear understanding of the factors which affect individual attitudes and perceptions towards the political leadership abilities of men and women.
