Description: |
Investigating the timing and nature of politicians' decisions to improve women's political representation, the author uses the case of the French Socialist Party to show that ideational and electoral factors have the biggest influence on party officials' decisions to adopt, increase, and implement gender-based quotas. |
Synopsis: |
How did parity replace gender quotas in France as the preferred way to achieve greater representation for women in elected office? Why have these gender-based measures been embraced by some parties and not others? And, why do parties sometimes fail to implement quotas and parity? Gender Quotas, Parity Reform, and Political Parties in France considers this transition from quotas to parity, providing a history of French women's rights and the French electoral process, as well as an examination of the roles of the Socialist and Gaullist political parties. |
