中国和印度是亚洲两大发展中国家,在妇女参与地方自治方面所面临的困难有许多相似之处。过去的十多年里,两国都为此做出了努力,取得了一些成效,但两国妇女参与地方自治的实际情况并不如预期乐观。本文对中印妇女参与村级治理的制度、政策和机制进行比较研究,并提出对中国有益的借鉴与启示。 China and India are two major developing countries in Asia and share many similarities with the difficulties that women face in participating in local autonomy. Over the past decade or so, both countries have made efforts and achieved some results. However, the actual situation of women’s participation in local autonomy in both countries is not as optimistic as expected. This article makes a comparative study of the systems, policies and mechanisms for the participation of Chinese and Indian women in village-level governance and puts forward some useful lessons and enlightenments for China.
