Research on representation is increasingly concerned with substantive questions, such as how women members of parliament are acting for women in parliament. To understand the substantive impact women have, we need to understand the power structure in parliament and how women members of parliament use collaboration to represent their constituents. Using a data set of cosponsorship data from 14 European parliaments between 1987 and 2021, and taking advantage of the range of electoral systems, quotas and levels of women’s representation present in these countries, I find that women are more likely than men to collaborate on bill cosponsorship and cosponsor more bills with other women, especially when there are few women in parliament. An analysis of bills cosponsored by women reveals that women members of parliament use the tool of cosponsorship to substantively represent women.
关于代表性的研究越来越关注实质性问题,例如议会中的女议员如何代表议会中的妇女行事。为了理解妇女的实质性影响,我们需要了解议会中的权力结构,以及议会中的女性成员如何利用合作来代表她们的选民。利用1987年至2021年间14个欧洲议会的共同赞助数据集,并利用这些国家现有的选举制度、配额和女性代表水平的范围,我发现,女性比男性更有可能在法案共同赞助方面进行合作,并与其他女性共同发起更多法案,尤其是在议会中女性很少的情况下。对妇女共同提出的法案的分析表明,议会中的女议员利用共同提出的工具在实质上代表了妇女。

Single ladies and freedom of speech: gendered explanations for, and effects of, violence in politics 单身女性与言论自由:政治暴力的性别解释及其影响

Violence towards elected representatives violates the personal integrity and freedom of representation of the municipal officeholders, thus potentially harming democracy at large. An original survey of Danish municipal council members’ experience of psychological, sexual and physical violence shows that two thirds have experienced at least one of the five types of psychological violence enquired about, while a third have experienced sexual and physical violence, respectively. More violence is experienced by women, the younger, those living on their own and those with larger TV exposure and social media visibility. However, except for sexual violence and being single, gender does not interact with these variables. Turning to the effect of violence, whether representatives feel that they have freedom of speech is negatively correlated with their experience of psychological and sexual violence. In the case of sexual violence, the effect is gendered. In sum, violence experience is skewed and may harm both descriptive and substantive representation.
对当选代表的暴力侵犯了市政官员的人格和代表自由,从而可能损害整个民主。一项关于丹麦市政委员会成员遭受心理、性和身体暴力经历的原始调查显示,三分之二的人至少经历过所调查的五种心理暴力中的一种,三分之一的人分别经历过性暴力和身体暴力。女性、年轻女性、独立生活女性以及在电视和社交媒体上曝光率更高的女性遭受的暴力更多。然而,除了性暴力和单身之外,性别与这些变量没有相互作用。至于暴力的影响,代表是否觉得他们有言论自由与他们的心理暴力和性暴力经历负相关。就性暴力而言,其影响是性别的。总之,暴力经历是扭曲的,可能会损害描述性和实质性的表现。

Constructing a regime of truth to support palliative care at risk 建立真相制度,支持处于危险中的姑息治疗
IF 2.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-04-04 DOI: 10.1332/251510823x16783539965894

For decades, Finland, along with many other European countries, has applied austerity politics in which especially the female-dominated spheres of life, such as long-term care, have been the targets of savings. In this societal context, a hospice focusing on particularly demanding palliative care was at risk of redundancies. The article illustrates how a local regime of truth about the hospice was discursively constructed, supported and contested in an influential Finnish newspaper. A regime of truth is formed when a certain discourse becomes dominant, in this case, the good work done in the hospice and the need for its continuity. The data consist of newspaper articles covering the topic of the redundancies that the hospice was facing. The discourse analysis reveals three main gendered discourses: professionalism, de-medicalisation and de-institutionalisation. Professionalism stems from the masculine field of medicine, and the two latter discourses align with female-dominated long-term care, which are located lower in hierarchies of care.
几十年来,芬兰和许多其他欧洲国家一样,实行了紧缩政策,特别是在长期护理等女性主导的生活领域,一直是储蓄的目标。在这种社会背景下,专注于特别苛刻的姑息治疗的临终关怀面临着裁员的风险。这篇文章说明了当地关于临终关怀的真相是如何在一家有影响力的芬兰报纸上被话语建构、支持和争论的。当某种话语成为主导时,真理的政权就形成了,在这种情况下,在临终关怀中所做的良好工作及其连续性的需要。数据包括报纸上的文章,涵盖了临终关怀所面临的裁员问题。话语分析揭示了三种主要的性别话语:专业主义、去医学化和去机构化。专业主义源于男性医学领域,后两种话语与女性主导的长期护理相一致,后者位于护理层次较低的位置。

Gender, disability and political representation: understanding the experiences of disabled women 性别、残疾和政治代表:了解残疾妇女的经历

Women face multiple barriers during political recruitment and representational processes. Concomitantly, a burgeoning scholarship has revealed the existence of various obstacles to elected office faced by disabled people. While studies have examined the intersections between gender, race and class, we know little about how the intersection between disability and gender shapes people’s experiences. This article provides an exploratory case-study analysis of the UK. We centre the perspectives of disabled women in our analysis, drawing upon qualitative interviews undertaken with 41 disabled women candidates, politicians and party activists, as well as participant observation of online events organised to discuss disabled women and elected office. Three themes emerged from this research: first, disabled women feel that they are perceived as ‘not up to the job’; second, disabled women are ‘othered’ during recruitment processes; and, third, hyper-visibility experienced by some, but not all, disabled women can be experienced positively but mainly negatively.
妇女在政治招募和代表过程中面临多重障碍。与此同时,一项新兴的学术研究揭示了残疾人在竞选公职时面临的各种障碍。虽然有研究考察了性别、种族和阶级之间的交集,但我们对残疾和性别之间的交集如何影响人们的经历知之甚少。本文提供了一个探索性的英国案例研究分析。通过对41位残疾女性候选人、政治家和政党积极分子的定性访谈,以及对在线讨论残疾女性与当选职位的活动的参与者观察,我们将残疾女性的观点作为分析的中心。这项研究得出了三个主题:首先,残疾女性觉得自己被认为“不能胜任工作”;其次,残疾妇女在招聘过程中被“排斥”;第三,一些(但不是全部)残疾女性所经历的高度可见性可以是积极的,但主要是消极的。

Service within the extremely gendered North Atlantic Treaty Organization: civil and military personnel’s approaches to gender equality-focused policies 在性别极为性别化的北大西洋公约组织内服务:文职和军事人员对注重性别平等的政策的态度

The article emphasises the challenges in the implementation of gender equality-focused policies in military missions and demonstrates the backlash these policies can create in everyday social interaction in military missions. A qualitative method of thematic analysis was used to study 17 in-depth interviews with former civilian and military personnel in the International Security Assistance Force and Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan. The discursive exploratory analysis displayed that normative masculine constructions foster an environment in which women are perceived as: a threat to the unit they are part of; disruptive to male bonding in the unit; an objectified body; and an essential part of the successful mission in Afghanistan. Gender equality-focused policies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization face resistance in implementation because they threaten resources perceived greatly important in the organisation: normative masculine constructions. The military fails in attempts to manage diversity, and the military culture further values and reinforces sameness.
本文强调了在军事任务中实施以性别平等为重点的政策所面临的挑战,并展示了这些政策在军事任务中的日常社会互动中可能产生的反弹。本文采用专题分析的定性方法,对国际安全援助部队和阿富汗坚决支持特派团的前文职和军事人员进行了17次深度访谈。话语探索性分析表明,规范的男性结构营造了一种环境,在这种环境中,女性被视为:对她们所在单位的威胁;破坏单位内的雄性结合;物化的身体;也是阿富汗任务成功的重要组成部分。北大西洋公约组织以性别平等为重点的政策在实施中面临阻力,因为它们威胁到该组织认为非常重要的资源:规范的男性化结构。军队在管理多样性方面失败了,军队文化进一步重视和强化了同一性。

Parting with ‘interests of women’: how feminist scholarship on substantive representation could replace ‘women’s interests’ with ‘gender equality interests’ 告别“女性利益”:关于实质性代表性的女权主义学术如何用“性别平等利益”取代“女性利益”
IF 2.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-02-24 DOI: 10.1332/251510821x16742321076420

The concept of ‘women’s interests’ has received a large amount of scholarly attention. In particular, the problematic assumption underpinning this concept – that women share interests – has been an object of much consideration. Yet, while scholarship on the substantive representation of women has today moved free of this assumption, three other assumptions have not been scrutinised to the same degree. These are: (1) that political interests are attached to social groups; (2) that women and men have different interests; and (3) that there are only two genders. This article argues that these three assumptions are problematic for feminist scholarship on substantive representation, which warrants replacing the attached ‘women’s interests’ with an alternative interest: the unattached ‘gender equality interests’. In addition, the article sets forth three distinct ways for future studies to operationalise the substantive representation of gender equality.
“女性利益”的概念受到了大量的学术关注。特别是,支撑这一概念的有问题的假设- -妇女分享利益- -已成为许多考虑的对象。然而,虽然关于妇女实质性代表性的学术研究今天已经摆脱了这一假设,但其他三个假设没有得到同样程度的审查。它们是:(1)政治利益依附于社会群体;(2)男女有不同的利益;(3)只有两种性别。这篇文章认为,这三个假设对于女权主义学术的实质性代表性来说是有问题的,这就需要用另一种利益来取代附带的“女性利益”:不附带的“性别平等利益”。此外,本文还提出了未来研究实施性别平等实质性代表性的三种不同方式。

Do communist gender regimes have a lasting effect on contemporary gender role attitudes in the post-communist region? 共产主义性别制度对后共产主义地区的当代性别角色态度有持久的影响吗?
IF 2.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-02-24 DOI: 10.1332/251510821x16742247424552

Although studies have found a lasting negative impact of the communist legacy on political attitudes in the post-communist region, the effect of this legacy on gender attitudes is less well researched. While post-communist countries share a history of women-friendly policies under communism, their socio-political paths diverged after the transition. We ask: do communist gender regimes have a lasting effect on gender role attitudes? We answer this question by comparing the attitudes of cohorts socialised under communism with the attitudes of the post-transition generation using Life in Transition III survey data. We find a distinct legacy effect on attitudes. Non-European Union communist cohorts have more progressive attitudes than the post-transition cohort. In the European Union, the attitudinal gender egalitarianism of the post-transition cohort is indistinguishable from the attitudes of communist cohorts, likely due to this cohort also experiencing gender equality promotion during socialisation. The findings support the need to continue gender equality promotion.
尽管研究发现共产主义遗产对后共产主义地区的政治态度产生了持久的负面影响,但对这种遗产对性别态度的影响的研究较少。虽然后共产主义国家在共产主义时期都有对女性友好的政策,但在转型之后,它们的社会政治道路出现了分歧。我们的问题是:共产主义性别制度对性别角色态度有持久的影响吗?我们使用《转型生活III》调查数据,通过比较在共产主义下社会化的群体与转型后一代的态度来回答这个问题。我们发现对态度有明显的遗留影响。非欧盟共产主义群体的态度比转型后的群体更为进步。在欧盟,转型后人群对性别平等主义的态度与共产主义人群的态度难以区分,这可能是因为这一人群在社会化过程中也经历了性别平等的促进。调查结果支持继续促进性别平等的必要性。

Needles in a haystack: an intersectional analysis of the descriptive, constitutive and substantive representation of minoritised women 大海捞针:对少数民族妇女的描述性、构成性和实质性代表性的交叉分析

Using a data set of 1.1 million speeches drawn from UK House of Commons debates during 1997–2017 and a combination of automated and manual content analysis, this study addresses three interrelated questions. First, to what extent are minoritised women constitutively represented in parliamentary debates? Second, which MPs do so? Third, how do MPs’ race and gender affect how they represent minoritised women? I find that minoritised women are mentioned exceptionally rarely in parliamentary debates. Furthermore, descriptive representatives are not only substantially more likely to mention minoritised women than other MPs, but they also improve the quality of representation by doing so in relation to a wider range of issues. Yet, paradoxically, white men’s descriptive over-representation means that they account for the vast majority of mentions of minoritised women. More broadly, I foreground the distinction between constitutive and substantive representation, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between speaking about and on behalf of.
本研究使用了1997年至2017年英国下议院辩论中110万次演讲的数据集,并结合了自动和手动内容分析,解决了三个相互关联的问题。首先,少数民族妇女在议会辩论中有多大程度的代表性?其次,哪些议员会这么做?第三,国会议员的种族和性别如何影响他们代表少数族裔女性的方式?我发现少数族裔妇女在议会辩论中很少被提及。此外,描述性代表不仅比其他国会议员更有可能提到少数民族妇女,而且他们还通过在更广泛的问题上这样做来提高代表性的质量。然而,矛盾的是,白人男性的过度代表性意味着他们占了提及少数族裔女性的绝大多数。更广泛地说,我强调了构成性代表和实质性代表之间的区别,强调了区分“谈论”和“代表”的重要性。

Do political quotas work? Gender quotas and women’s political participation in Nepal 政治配额有效吗?尼泊尔的性别配额和妇女政治参与
IF 2.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-02-22 DOI: 10.1332/251510821x16746560835644

This article presents an investigation into the lives and lived experiences of women who joined politics through quotas. In particular, it explores the transformative potential of a quota policy through the ‘subject position’ of women politicians in Nepal, especially those who had no prior background in politics before being elected to their first political positions. Using Bourdieu’s theory of capital, I reveal how political quotas have strengthened women’s overall capital, allowing them to improve their position in both their families and society. Quotas have created new roles for women. The power and prestige attached to these new roles have not only offered some immediate changes to these women’s lives, but also led to changing perceptions of women in politics, shifting the discourse from a view of women’s participation in politics as an exception to one of it as an entitlement. This article is based on a qualitative study carried out with women politicians in Nepal.
本文对通过配额参与政治的女性的生活和生活经历进行了调查。特别地,它通过尼泊尔女性政治家的“主体地位”探讨了配额政策的变革潜力,特别是那些在当选为第一个政治职位之前没有政治背景的女性。利用布迪厄的资本理论,我揭示了政治配额如何加强了女性的整体资本,使她们能够改善她们在家庭和社会中的地位。配额为女性创造了新的角色。这些新角色所附带的权力和威望不仅给这些妇女的生活带来了一些直接的变化,而且还导致了对妇女参政的看法的改变,将妇女参政的观点从一种例外转变为一种权利。这篇文章是基于对尼泊尔女性政治家进行的定性研究。

Using Bourdieu’s theory of capital, I reveal how political quotas have strengthened women’s overall capital, allowing them to improve their position in both their families and society.

Complex gendered agency in Mexico: how women negotiate hierarchies of fear to search for the disappeared 墨西哥复杂的性别代理:女性如何与恐惧等级谈判,寻找失踪的人

Fear and agency are complex, interrelated and gendered phenomena for the madres buscadoras, the women searching for the disappeared in Mexico. These women operate in a context of unrelenting, multisided violence. At the same time, they choose to engage in activism that puts them at heightened risk of violence at the nexus of criminal organisations, state corruption and insecurity. This article investigates how the madres navigate contexts of gendered violence in Veracruz, Mexico, to engage in expressions of complex gendered agency. It makes the argument that we can understand why the fear of violence does not necessarily lead to demobilisation or inaction when we locate their activism within a hierarchy of fears. By recognising that the fear of never knowing about their missing loved ones outweighs the fears of violence that they are exposed to on a day-to-day basis, we gain insight into why they choose ‘fight’, rather than ‘flight’.
对于在墨西哥寻找失踪者的女人们来说,恐惧和能动性是复杂的、相互关联的性别现象。这些妇女在无情的、多方暴力的背景下工作。与此同时,他们选择参与激进主义,这使他们在犯罪组织、国家腐败和不安全的关系中面临更大的暴力风险。本文研究了墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州的女祭司如何在性别暴力背景下进行导航,以参与复杂的性别代理表达。它提出的论点是,我们可以理解为什么对暴力的恐惧不一定导致复员或无所作为,当我们将他们的行动主义置于恐惧的层次中时。通过认识到永远不知道他们失踪的亲人的恐惧超过了他们每天面临的暴力的恐惧,我们深入了解了他们为什么选择“战斗”而不是“逃跑”。
