    Gender Quotas, Norms, and Politics

    Politics & Gender, 2 (2006), 101–128. Printed in the U.S.A. CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON GENDER AND POLITICS Gender Quotas II In the previous issue, scholars Jane Mansbridge, Mark P. Jones, and Miki Caul Kittilson addressed a series of questions about gender quota laws. Are quotas a good idea? Should more countries adopt them? Should the United States consider them? In this issue, three additional scholars weigh in. Lisa Baldez considers the pros and cons of gender quota laws on the basis of research she has done on the adoption and implementation of a gender quota law in Mexico. Mona Lena Krook maintains that the adoption of gender quota laws often reveals the deep-rooted nature of gender discrim- ination in existing processes of candidate recruitment. Finally, Medha Nani- vadekar reflects on the lessons that can be drawn about gender quota laws from the example of the reserved seats for women in India, a measure that “created 1 million slots for women.” The Pros and Cons of Gender Quota Laws: What Happens When You Kick Men Out and Let Women In?

  • Why Women's Numbers Elevate Women's

    Why Women's Numbers Elevate Women's

    Why Women’s Numbers Elevate Women’s Influence, and When They Don’t: Rules, Norms and Authority in Political Discussion Christopher F. Karpowitz, Tali Mendelberg, and Lauren Mattioli Abstract: Critical mass theory argues that women’s numbers are a major cause of women’s status and authority in a group. Applications of the theory to political settings have yielded mixed support for the theory. We unpack one mechanism that can explain when, why and how numbers aid women. That mechanism is the norm of communication during group discussion. Our focus is on how women build or lose authority while they interact with men. We argue that numbers – and group procedures – shape norms that advance or hinder women’s authority. Women’s authority in turn affects the group’s decision about economic redistribution – the higher women’s authority, the higher the group’s generosity to the poor. We suggest that future work further explore how rules and norms affect women’s status in a group by equalizing their participation and influence, with the ultimate goal being equal gender authority. Keywords: gender, norms, groups, deliberation, critical mass, decision rule, majority, unanimity, gender composition, authority, influence Introduction Political psychology naturally locates the individual at the heart of politics, and so it is no wonder that it investigates gender as a feature of the individual. Venerable questions in that tradition include: how a woman thinks about politics (Burns and Kinder 2012; Burns et al. 2001; Huddy et. al 2008; Sapiro 2003), votes (Dolan 1998; Kaufmann 2006; Kaufmann and Petrocik 1999; Mueller 1988; Steffensmeier, et al.

Martin ABSTRACT For over 3 decades, those engaged in the battle over the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), along with many scholarly commentators, have argued that ratification of the amendment will lead U.S. courts (1) to elevate the standard of law they now use to adjudicate claims of sex discrimination, which, in turn, could lead them (2) to find in favor of parties claiming a denial of their rights. We investigate both possibilities via an examination of constitutional sex discrimination litigation in the 50 states—over a third of which have adopted ERAs. Employing methods especially developed for this investigation, we find no direct effect of the ERA on case outcomes.

We will examine the ways in which gender enters and shapes politics, primarily in the U.S. context. We begin by defining and conceptualizing gender and considering women’s group consciousness and how that shapes activism. We then look more closely at women as citizens with respect to their voting behavior and mass opinions. The next part of the course deals with women as candidates, exploring various barriers to female candidates, as well as opportunities. The final section of the course considers gender and representation in government and policymaking. The class format is a seminar, and thus is largely based on class discussion. Background Preparations (Prerequisites) There are no prerequisites for this course. Student Learning Outcomes: By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1. Understand the major strands of research in women and politics. 2. Critically assess the academic literature on women and politics. 3. Integrate the academic literature on women and politics. 4. Develop an original research paper/project in women and politics. 5. Refine communication skills in seminar participation and assignments. 6. Improve writing skills in course assignments.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88623-9 - Political Women and American Democracy Edited by Christina Wolbrecht, Karen Beckwith and Lisa Baldez Frontmatter More information Political Women and American Democracy What do we know about women, politics, and democracy in the United States? The past thirty years have witnessed a dramatic increase in women’s participation in American politics and an explosion of research on women, and the transforma- tions effected by them, during the same period. Political Women and American Democracy provides a critical synthesis of scholarly research by leading experts in the field. The collected chapters examine women as citizens, voters, partici- pants, movement activists, partisans, candidates, and legislators. They provide frameworks for understanding and organizing existing scholarship; focus on the- oretical, methodological, and empirical debates; and map out productive direc- tions for future research. As the only book to focus specifically on women and gender in U.S. politics, Political Women and American Democracy will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students studying and conducting women and politics research. Christina Wolbrecht is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Director of the Program in American Democracy at the University of Notre Dame. Her book The Politics of Women’s Rights: Parties, Positions, and Change (2000) was recipient of the 2001 Leon Epstein Outstanding Book Award from the American Political Science Association (Political Organizations and Parties Section). She has published articles in many journals, including the American Journal of Political Science and the Journal of Politics. Karen Beckwith is Flora Stone Mather Professor of Political Science at Case Western Reserve University.

    Cambridge University Press 0521820596 - Courts under Constraints: Judges, Generals, and Presidents in Argentina Gretchen Helmke Frontmatter More information Courts under Constraints This study offers a new theoretical framework for understanding how institu- tional instability affects judicial behavior under dictatorship and democracy. In contrast to conventional wisdom,the central findings of the book challenge the longstanding assumption that only independent judges rule against the gov- ernment of the day. Set in the context of Argentina,the study brings together qualitative case studies and statistical analyses with spatial and game theoretic models to explore the conditions under which courts rule against the govern- ment. In addition to shedding new light on the dynamics of court-executive relations in Argentina,the study provides general lessons about institutions, instability,and the rule of law. In the process,the study builds a new set of con- nections among diverse bodies of scholarship,including U.S. judicial politics, comparative institutional analysis,positive political theory,and Latin American politics. Gretchen Helmke is an assistant professor in Political Science at the University of Rochester.
