Abstract

Since 1991 women have broken many political ‘glass ceilings’ in Lithuania by getting elected to the presidency, the prime ministership and several ‘power’ ministries. The number of women diplomats has also steadily increased, reaching solid representation in the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (LMFA). However, women are still markedly underrepresented at the ambassadorial level and the LMFA’s upper ranks. Using historical and feminist institutionalisms this article first examines the LMFA’s gendered origins. Then, drawing on a newly collected ambassadorial dataset and empirical analysis, it presents the most comprehensive socio-demographic profiling of Lithuanian ambassadors to reveal the extent of diversity and women’s representation in Lithuania’s foreign service. Through empirical mapping and application of a gender in diplomacy theoretical approach, it identifies where women (and men) are located in the country’s diplomacy and compare — for confirmation or refutation — observed patterns in Lithuania’s ambassadorial appointments against those discerned globally.
小国外交中的多样性与妇女代表性:以立陶宛为例
自1991年以来,立陶宛妇女通过当选总统、总理和几个“权力”部委,打破了许多政治“玻璃天花板”。女外交官的人数也稳步增加,在立陶宛外交部拥有稳固的代表权。然而,妇女在大使级和LMFA高层的任职人数仍然明显不足。本文运用历史和女权主义制度学的方法,首先考察了LMFA的性别起源。然后,利用最新收集的大使数据集和实证分析,对立陶宛大使进行了最全面的社会人口统计分析,以揭示立陶宛外交部门的多样性和妇女代表性。通过实证绘制和应用外交中的性别理论方法,它确定了女性(和男性)在该国外交中的位置,并将立陶宛大使任命中观察到的模式与全球公认的模式进行了比较,以供确认或反驳。
