  • Parties, Institutions, and the Under-Representation of Women in Brazil’S State Legislatures
    GENDERING REPRESENTATION: PARTIES, INSTITUTIONS, AND THE UNDER-REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN BRAZIL’S STATE LEGISLATURES BY ©2012 Pedro de Abreu Gomes dos Santos Submitted to the graduate degree program in Political Science and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Dr. Gary Reich ________________________________ Dr. Christina Bejarano ________________________________ Dr. Hannah Britton ________________________________ Dr. Erik Herron ________________________________ Dr. Elizabeth Kuznesof Date Defended: July 25, 2012 The Dissertation Committee for Pedro de Abreu Gomes dos Santos certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: GENDERING REPRESENTATION: PARTIES, INSTITUTIONS, AND THE UNDER-REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN BRAZIL’S STATE LEGISLATURES ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Gary Reich Date Approved: August 29, 2012 ii Abstract This dissertation provides insights on what influences women’s descriptive representation in state legislatures in Brazil. The study of female representation in Brazil provides for a good case study as the country uses a gender quota system for legislative positions since 1995 and yet has not seen a significant improvement in the number of women elected to such institutions. In order to understand the roots of female under-representation, this dissertation combines Feminist Historical Institutionalism—a complementary approach to Historical Institutionalism that focuses on the role of gender in the development of institutions—and empirical approaches to determine why so few women are elected to Brazil’s state legislatures. This dissertation relies on historical narratives, interviews and participant observation, and statistical analysis to uncover the ways in which the Brazilian political system influences the low number of female candidates elected to state legislatures.

It draws on 140 interviews with party and social leaders at all levels, as well as on secondary sources and archival research. Drawing on the notion of governability, the study offers a systematic understanding of the constraints that the party faced in national executive public office, how such constraints were perceived by some of the most influential party leaders, and how these leaders acted upon them.

Chill, was what I felt. And a deep longing for my homely sunshine. “What on Earth could possibly make a Brazilian move from Brazil to come study in a place like that?” was what I got used to hearing from all types of people who came to learn I was Brazilian. The thing is, it had never crossed my mind that kind of change I was going to face, once in the Netherlands.
