Using Germany's multi-party system as its central case study, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Left, Right, and Center\u003c\/i\u003e challenges this conventional wisdom on political ideology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Christina Xydias shows that some right-leaning parties advocate for women's rights and interests, while left- and right-leaning parties can be equally indifferent to lack of representation for women from marginalized groups. These findings follow from analyses of election results, transcripts from debates and speeches, and personal interviews, as well as from a close reading of intertwined military and citizenship policies that illustrate how women's and ethnic minority groups' rights are constructed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Left, Right, and Center\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with an analysis of women's representation across OECD countries, showing that right-leaning parties are more likely to support women's rights and interests in societies that are more egalitarian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Xydias\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439923760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439923764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Christina Xydias","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419495678207,"sku":"9781439923764","price":104.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21009ad8-3196-4132-9ae5-97e0f721c1a3.jpg?v=1761511893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-left-right-and-center-christina-xydias-9781439923764","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
