"Women in Diplomacy" published


I have the pleasure to announce my postgraduate dissertation has been published by American Diplomacy. The paper entitled, "Women in Diplomacy, 1990-2010" examines the role of British female diplomats on overcoming gender hierarchy.

As summarised by American Diplomacy, this assessment of the role of women in the British diplomatic service and the difficulties they have faced and can still face in breaking through the "glass ceiling" may be echoed in most of the world' diplomatic corps.

I focused the research on identifying entry points, approaches, methodologies and tools to support gender mainstreaming at the local, national, and regional levels of the diplomatic structure. Through gender analysis, I identified potentials, good practice and remaining challenges in increasing the participation of women in high-level politics and diplomacy in national and local development.
