东南亚女性政治家崛起现象研究

在人类的发展历史中,男女性别上的差异导致了政治在传统上一直是男性主导的领域,而那些能够在政治上有所作为的女性则屈指可数,活跃在政坛上的也大多数是男性政治家。自古以来,人们就形成了女性不适合参与政治的共识,女性只拥有从属地位,是对男性的一种补充。纵观当今世界,虽然在许多国家存在着女性领导人的案例,但是东南亚女性政治家的从政参政与其他地区有着明显的不同,在东南亚国家的政治发展过程中出现了多位女性政治家,并在所在国的政坛中发挥着重要作用。文章将以东南亚女性的政治影响力为起点,对东南亚女性政治家的崛起现象进行描述,并结合亨廷顿的＂第三波民主化浪潮＂的三种社会背景对东南亚女性政治家崛起现象的特点和原因进行分析论述。

Study on the Phenomenon of the Rise of Southeast Asian Women Politicians

In the development of human history, the gender differences between men and women cause the traditional interna- tional politics to be considered as a male-dominated field, while those women who can make a difference are just a few numbers, the active ones in politics are also mostly male politicians. Since ancient times, people have formed the consensus that women are not suitable for participation in political affairs and women only have a subordinate position which they are just a supplement for men. Looking around the world, although there are some successful cases of female leaders in modern world, Southeast Asian women politicians＇ po- litical road is different from other places that there have appeared a number of women politicians in the process of national political development. This article will start from the political influence of Southeast Asian women, describe the phenomenon of the rise of Southeast Asian women politicians, and analyze the characteristics and the reasons for the rise of Southeast Asian women politicians in accordance with the three kinds of social backgrounds put forward by Huntington Samuel＇ s argument on the issue of ＂the third democratic wave＂.
