Half a year after rising to the position of prime minister in Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed appointed a cabinet that included an unprecedented 50% women, including the first female minister of defense. This was noteworthy, because women had not been well-represented in Ethiopian political leadership. What motivated the appointment of so many women? We argue that the selection of ministers in aid-dependent global south countries responds to external cues—and that this leads to more women in the cabinet. Our findings regarding Ethiopia’s 50% female cabinet suggest that the role of external cues in cabinet selection deserves further investigation.

半数内阁成员:解释埃塞俄比亚在政府中实现性别均等的举措

在担任埃塞俄比亚总理半年后,阿比·艾哈迈德任命了一个内阁,其中女性占空前的 50%,其中包括第一位女国防部长。这一点值得注意,因为女性在埃塞俄比亚的政治领导层中没有得到很好的代表。是什么促使任命这么多女性?我们认为,依赖援助的全球南方国家的部长选择是对外部线索的反应——这导致内阁中有更多女性。我们对埃塞俄比亚 50% 女性内阁的调查结果表明,外部线索在内阁选择中的作用值得进一步调查。
