    Women in Political Leadership: Representation, Challenges and the Impact of Female Leaders in the Era of Globalisation
    (INTEGRITY EDUCATION INDIA, 2026) Seema Siddiqui, Aijaz Husain
    The involvement and acquiring of positions of women in political leadership constitutes one of the key steps made towards achieving gender equality in modern society. In this chapter, an analysis will be conducted regarding women in politics. The chapter focuses on identifying some of the social, cultural, and other barriers to gender equality in terms of women's representation in politics around the world. Despite the positive developments in global affairs related to the role played by women in different processes, there is still much work to be done to ensure gender equality in politics. Women continue to face difficulties in gaining access to certain positions and in taking active part in political decision- making. The chapter provides insight into the role of female political leaders and the importance of women's participation in politics. The role of female political leaders will be analysed in relation to gendered governance and the contribution they can make to different policy priorities, particularly those associated with healthcare and social welfare. At the same time, the chapter considers some of the most important examples of successful women leaders who managed to break through the barriers in the field. Ultimately, it affirms that empowering women in politics is essential for achieving sustainable development, social justice, and equitable growth, aligning with the broader themes of gender and development discussed in this volume.

    Urban Good Governance in India: Theoretical and Policy Perspective
    (Sandpiper Publishers, 2025) KHURSHED ALAM
    There is no doubt that promoting social justice and long-term economic success requires improving governance. Whether or not this is realised will depend on how rapidly leaders in the federal, state, and municipal governments can adjust to the intricate developments in the social, political, and economic spheres. Therefore, in order to improve public goods and services delivery as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of the functioning of political and governmental institutions, reforms are required. This asks for the decentralisation and fortification of local governments in order to facilitate public participation in development and governance, in addition to allowing civil society organisations to take ownership of development initiatives and activities. Transparency promotes openness through feedback and reporting, clear policies and procedures, and the conduct of individuals in positions of power. It gives the public clear guidelines and information that is easy to understand. Decentralisation, including political devolution, de-concentration, delegation, and transfer to non-governmental organisations, promotes public administration and good governance by offering an institutional framework to bring decision-making closure to the people and by encouraging collaboration and synergies among actors and organisations to achieve economic and human development goals. Legislators, development specialists, and officials have so backed decentralisation plans and initiatives over time. In light of this, the current paper aims to examine the definition, development, structure, and results of governance. The primary sources of data for the paper are relevant literature and secondary data.
