On the Compatibility of Islam and Gender Equality (2009, background): “Given the deep rootedness of Islam in the history of these countries, a possible negative effect on women's position and democracy can be expected here as well as a positive effect on state Islamization (Donno and Russett 2004; Stepan and Robertson 2003).”
Coercive or Corrosive: The Negative Impact of Economic Sanctions on Democracy (2010, background): “Finally, to control for the notoriously low level of democracy in Arab countries, we add the Arab Country variable, which takes the value of 1 for the 21 countries that are members of the Arab League and dominated by Arab populations ( Donno and Russett 2004 ; Stepan and Robinson 2003).”
Globalisation, Women's Economic Rights and Forced Labour (2007, background): “Thus, modernization requires globalization and vice versa, which certain cultural traits in some societies may prevent, working particularly through the disempowering effects of culture on women’s role in society (Donno and Russett, 2004).”
Help or Hindrance? Religion's Impact on Gender Inequality in Attitudes and Outcomes (2011, background): “Aggregate well-being, measured as GDP, is ubiquitously included as an explanatory variable though with contradictory evidence on its impact on equality (Baliamoune-Lutz, 2007; Dollar, 1999; Donno & Russett, 2004; Forsythe & Korzeniewicz, 2000; Seguino, 2007b).”
