I personally am not opposed to quotas as long as the time horizon of its implementation is limited and a credible reevaluation is then undertaken. To affect change in any society is quite difficult and the establishment in most civilizations found ways to insure that change and therefore loss of influence and control would at best happen slowly if at all. Quotas despite their horrible reputation in establishment circles actually are the sledge hammer to affect change. They might not be the best means but often might be the only means to force the doors to open. Based on my personal experience, I don't think that racial integration in the workplace would ever have happened to the degree it has in the U.S. were it not for EEO. Similar statements can be made about access to education in India for the lower casts. Though Italy’s women have come a long way in the last thirty years, they clearly haven’t been able to penetrate the upper echelons of power. seattlepi.nwsource.com “Less than 10 percent of Italy's lawmakers are female - the second-lowest percentage in the European Union after Greece's 9 percent. In the United States, 15 percent of Congress is female - 14 senators and 67 members of the House of Representatives.” Obviously influence and access to money help significantly when running for office. Therefore it is not surprising that women and other minorities are not proportionally represented even at this time in most democracies.
