Partial enactment of women's rights is at the crux of this analysis, which identifies factors associated with the adoption of some global women's rights scripts but not others. Women who partially enact global principles are an important group, and focusing on them provides clues into when, where, and how institutionalized scripts are in competition. To explore this issue, Demographic and Health Survey data from 25 low- and middle-income countries across two time periods are used, with a focus on two dimensions of women's empowerment: a woman's household decision-making power and her attitudes toward intimate partner violence. Multinomial regressions reveal that exposure to global culture is associated with dual enactment of the two dimensions. Among partial adopters, enactment privileging physical integrity is mediated through local community institutions, including religions, whereas partial-enactment privileging decision making is associated with women's household bargaining power.
妇女权利的部分实施是这一分析的关键所在，该分析确定了与采纳某些全球妇女权利规范相关但与其他规范无关的因素。部分实施全球原则的妇女是一个重要群体，关注她们能为制度化规范在何时、何地以及如何相互竞争提供线索。为探讨这一问题，使用了来自25个低收入和中等收入国家两个时期的人口与健康调查数据，重点关注妇女赋权的两个维度：妇女在家庭中的决策权以及她对亲密伴侣暴力的态度。多项回归分析表明，接触全球文化与这两个维度的双重实施相关。在部分采纳者中，优先保障身体完整的实施是通过包括宗教在内的当地社区机构来调节的，而优先保障决策的部分实施则与妇女在家庭中的议价能力相关。
