Da li žene predstavljaju žene u parlamentu?
Do Women Represent Women in Parliament?

Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to answer the question of why the presence of more women in legislative bodies does not necessarily result in policies that are gender sensitive and receptive to women? Do women really represent women’s interests in Parliament and, if so, how? Aft er examining the works of authors primarily from Englishspeaking countries, who have most seriously dealt with the issue of representation of women in politics, I analyze diff erent approaches to the defi nition and types of political representation, with special emphasis on the relationship between descriptive and substantive, passive and active representation. Th e results of a large number of studies in this field are compared, with particular reference to the current representation theory - the critical mass, supply and demand, political presence, strategic partnership and critical actors.
