    Periods of democratic transition may provide space for increased political participation by women. Often, however, women's participation inexplicably falls off after the transition period to former low levels. This article argues that the form women's participation takes in transitions is crucial to both the shape of the resulting new democracy, and the subsequent impact of the new democratic institutions on building or sustaining a women's movem…

  • Problems and Opportunities for Cooperation among Public Managers on the U.S.-Mexico Border

    Open AccessMichelle A Saint-Germain, Michelle A Saint‐germainARTICLEThe American Review of Public…1995Cited by: 3References: 8

    With the approval of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) comes the possibility of an infusion of billions of dollars into the U.S.-Mexico border regions; yet, we know little about whether local public managers are prepared to undertake joint projects. This study explores existing linkages between U.S. and Mexican mid-level public managers, how these managers perceive their counterparts, and the barriers to increased cooperation that t…

  • Similarities and Differences in Perceptions of Public Service among Public Administrators on the U.S.-Mexico Border

    Michelle A Saint-Germain, Michelle A Saint‐germainARTICLEPublic Administration Review1995Cited by: 4References: 2

    Internationalizing Public Management As the end of the 20th century nears, all public managers must prepare to participate in a global environment (Riggs, 1991). At the same time, U.S. public administrators are finding that their public now consists of people from many other cultures (Singer, 1992). Thus it is becoming increasingly necessary for U.S. public managers to explore how their counterparts in other cultures think--about themselves, abou…

    Open AccessMichelle A Saint-Germain, Michelle A Saint‐germain et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research1993Cited by: 13References: 13

    This article contrasts the findings from two studies undertaken on the barriers to health care use in general and to breast cancer screening in particular that are faced by older Hispanic women. One study conducted a randomly selected population survey; the other used focus group interviews. These two techniques are compared regarding their interaction with Hispanic culture in terms of methodology, data produced, and results. Focus group intervie…

  • Equality

    Michelle A Saint-Germain, Michelle A Saint‐germain et al.ARTICLEWomen & Politics1991Cited by: 4

    Little has been written about women's struggles for political equality in Central American countries. This article focuses on one such proposal put before the Costa Rican national Legislature in 1988, called "The Law of Real Equality for Women." Tracing the progress of this proposal reveals the attitudes and beliefs of elites about women, the power of state actors to influence gender relations, and the ideology of political discourse in Costa Ric…

  • Female Public Officials

    In this article we examine the extent to which women in public office exhibit a different voice from that of male officeholders. We explore rationales that justify a different voice as well as how this difference manifests itself in politics. Then we present a model of the different types of voices female public officials have exercised. The research indicates that as the number of women in public office grows, increasing differences will be seen…

  • Public Administration Education and the Status of Women

    Open AccessKenneth K Ahn, Michelle A Saint-Germain et al.ARTICLEThe American Review of Public…1988Cited by: 2

    Both the number and the proportion of women in the paid labor force have increased substantially over the past twenty-five years. There has also been much activity on the part of both government and women's organizations to upgrade the status of women. Yet there appears to be little change in the number of women in upper level management positions in municipal, state or federal government. This paper identifies two very interesting trends that ha…
