Description
This study identifies determinants of endorsement of and commitment to women's economic and political rights compared to men’s. Studying an international sample of diverse nations and regions through time-series modeling of two recent waves of the Worlds Values Survey, we compare static, psychological, and dynamic explanations of human rights attitudes. This study suggests the importance of contested, dynamic identities across geographical space and over time for understanding determinants of attitudes towards the rights of women in an international system where universal human rights are institutionalized at ever greater levels.
