Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This research reports the results of a comparative cross-national study of the relationship between four major trends - economic globalization, increasing levels of democracy in many nations, separation of state and religion (political secularism), and internationalization of human rights norms – and government respect for women’s economic, social, and political rights in 160 countries between 1981 to 2003. The results of the study demonstrate that over the period examined, democracy, separation of state and religion, and internationalization of human rights norms are associated with greater government respect for all three types of women’s rights, controlling for other explanations. Economic globalization has also had important consequences for women’s rights attainment, but the results are mixed and more complicated. For instance, financial globalization, measured by foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, appears to advance women’s political rights, but is associated with slight declines in their economic rights. Trade globalization, measured by the level of trade openness, is significantly related to women’s economic rights, but is not an important predictor of their social and political rights in this study. Lastly, other things being equal, the level of economic development is associated with greater government respect for women’s rights. The size of a nation’s population, history of British colonial influence, and civil conflict are associated with declines in some types of women’s rights.
