Abstract

Gender dynamics have emerged as a critical area of study in understanding political power transitions across Africa. Madagascar's recent and ongoing political landscape offers a unique case for examining these dynamics, particularly in light of its complex socio-political context. The approach will draw upon feminist theories, comparative politics methodologies, and insights from historical analyses, with a focus on data-driven examination of policy documents, election results, and public discourse related to gender in political processes. The theoretical framework provides a robust foundation for future research into gender dynamics within political power transitions in Madagascar, emphasising the importance of inclusive policies that promote women's representation across all levels of governance. Policy recommendations include enhancing education on gender equality in politics, implementing quotas for female participation in leadership positions, and fostering supportive environments that encourage women to engage more actively with political processes.
