Gender refers to the attributes, behaviors, personality characteristics, and expectations associated with a person's biological sex in a given culture. Gender research gradually emerged to highlight the existence of disparities in the distribution of power along biological lines and to study the culture and traditional roles, functional assignments and stereotypes of men and women. This book is a result of the Regional Workshop on Gender and Democratization in the Arab Region that took place March 11-13, 2002 in Amman, Jordan. It includes the opening remarks and a compilation of international papers and case studies presented at the workshop, in both Arabic and English. Country case studies were presented by governmental and non-governmental representatives from various countries in the region.
