The comparative framework of the analysis is based on three main concepts (space, time and scale). The analysis identifies the spatial patterns of women's political representation at three levels of political life in the country, from local, through regional to national. It also indicates the basic trends and dynamics of the identified patterns over last three decades of the country's democratic transformation. Despite a slight and stable improvement over time, women are still significantly underrepresented at all three levels. The highest political representation of women was identified at the local level, the lowest at the regional level. The size of the municipality is an important factor to explain the pattern of women's political representation at the local level, with women being more represented in smaller municipalities. At the regional level, a relatively stable spatial pattern of women's representation in regional parliaments has been identified. At the level of the national parliament, the representation of women slightly improved only in the last decade. In the European perspective, Slovakia is still one of the countries with the lowest representation of women in the national parliament. On the other hand, it is one of the European countries that has an experience with women in two highest executive positions (Prime Minister and President). Slovakia had a female Prime Minister for two years (2010-2012) and by now is the first and only Central European country with a woman as President.
