Women and politics have traditionally been perceived as mutually exclusive dimensions even though they possess an intimate and inseparable relationship. It is therefore important to conduct a comparative country-by-country analysis to examine how women have been influenced by the challenges and opportunities of globalization and local politics. The theme of "Politics and Good Governance" includes: 1) Research that aims to present a new theoretical and analytical framework in promoting good governance from the perspectives of women and politics. 2) Comparative research on the dynamics of how the rights of women in countries around the world have evolved. 3) Studies on identifying challenges and opportunities women face today, particularly in the context of "human security" and good governance. And 4) research that includes methods and programs for promoting the rights and interests of women.
