Publisher: UK : CRC Press, 2021Edition: 1st ed.Description: 138p.ISBN: 9781032237060.Subject(s): Leadership in women -- Asia | Leadership in women -- Pacific Area | Young women -- Asia -- Social conditions | Young women -- Pacific Area -- Social conditionsDDC classification: 303.34082095 Summary: "Through a range of case studies in Asia and the Pacific, this edited collection highlights the extent of the unique ways in which young women lead to create change in their own lives and their communities, as well as in the structures, cultures and institutions in which they live and work. This volume challenges and reshapes the boundaries and relationships of power that animate traditional attitudes to leadership by exploring the often-overlooked role of women as leaders and drivers of social change. The text draws on a number of complex case studies in Asia and the Pacific in order to demonstrate how young women around the world have developed organised approaches to leadership that are often collective, collaborative, and transformative. However, as the authors reveal, they also deviate from traditional forms of leadership that have dominated the literature and public understanding. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of the theory and/or practice of leadership. More broadly, it will also be useful for students and scholars of political science, international studies, peace and conflict studies, international and community development, leadership studies, cultural studies, youth studies, and gender studies"--| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
