Women consistently report lower levels of nascent political ambition than men, which causes problems for the recruitment of women in politics. The aim of this study is to better understand the mechanisms behind this gender gap by simultaneously studying the extent to which gender differences in preferences for and perceptions about the typical goals attained through a political career (power, independence and communal goals) can explain gender differences in political ambition. Using data collected among Belgian political and social sciences students (N = 322), our results provide a strong confirmation of the gender gap in political ambition. We also find substantial gender differences in preferences for and perceptions about goals pursued through political careers. However, these individual-level differences in preferences and perceptions only marginally reduce the gender gap in political ambition, emphasising the need for active political recruitment.Key messagesThere is a gender gap in political ambition, even among political and social sciences students.Women are less attracted to the independence and power goals of a political mandate than men.Women are interested in achieving communal goals but believe that they are not central to a political mandate.Preferences for and perceptions about power goals explain political ambition but not the gender gap.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in policies that offer financial incentives to political parties to nominate women. Under what circumstances do political parties agree to adopt financial incentives for women’s representation? In this article, we conduct a feminist historical institutionalist case study of the adoption of gender-targeted public finance in the Canadian province of New Brunswick in 2017. We draw on a combination of: direct personal experience advocating for financial incentives for women candidates; interviews with party insiders, policymakers and actors within feminist organisations; and documentary evidence. The results have implications for understanding the potential for success of efforts to adopt financial incentives in other jurisdictions.Key messagesHistorical institutional choices, feminist actors and strategic political incentives led to gender-targeted public finance.Reforms that ‘tweak’ the system are easier to achieve than quotas or major system overhauls.Feminist actors and ideas are important but require the right sequence of events to produce change.Governments can be persuaded to adopt feminist policies when it is in their strategic interests.

Little research has systematically examined the relationship between ideology and perceptions of sexual harassment. Recognising differences in the way in which sexual harassment and assault were discussed on political programming and social media by partisans, we posed the following questions: (1) ‘Is there an ideological difference in perceptions of observed sexual harassment?’; and (2) ‘Is there also an ideological difference in perceptions of personally experienced sexual harassment?’ Using data from two studies, we find that conservatives are less likely than liberals to perceive and label both ambiguous and unambiguous situations as sexual harassment. Our third study – a survey of adult women – demonstrates that compared to liberal women, conservative women report significantly fewer instances of personally experienced gender discrimination and sexual harassment than liberal women. These results indicate that both observed and lived experiences of sexual harassment are linked to one’s ideological belief structures.Key messagesConservatives are less likely than liberals to perceive and label both ambiguous and unambiguous workplace scenarios as sexual harassment.Conservative women report significantly fewer instances of sexual harassment and gender discrimination than liberal women.These findings have broad implications for policy support and political attitudes about gender discrimination and harassment.

Despite both unparalleled progress on and persistent backlash to LGBTI rights in world politics, LGBTIQ people are rarely centred in our work as political scientists. This article charts the status of LGBTIQ scholarship in political science, advocating the creation of new spaces for such scholarship in the field, including in the pages of journals like the European Journal of Politics and Gender. Drawing on recent studies of the profession and on the reflections of leading LGBTIQ thinkers on navigating their presence in the subfield, I argue that LGBTIQ scholars and their scholarship still face individual-level and structural discrimination in political science. This encompasses active and passive homophobia and transphobia in teaching, getting hired and promoted, gaining access to research funding, and the publication process.Key messagesThe article charts a brief history of the status of LGBTIQ scholarship in political science.The article advocates for new spaces for such scholarship in the field, including in the pages of journals like the European Journal of Politics and Gender.The article draws on recent studies of the profession and on the reflections of leading LGBTIQ thinkers on navigating their presence in the subfield.The article argues that LGBTIQ scholars and their scholarship still face discrimination in political science, and that this neglect is not without consequences for knowledge production in the field.
尽管在世界政治中，LGBTI的权利取得了空前的进步，也遭到了持续的反对，但LGBTIQ人群很少以我们作为政治科学家的工作为中心。本文描绘了LGBTIQ学术在政治学中的地位，提倡为这一领域的学术创造新的空间，包括在《欧洲政治与性别杂志》(European Journal of Politics and Gender)等期刊的页面上。根据最近对该专业的研究，以及主要LGBTIQ思想家对他们在该子领域的存在的反思，我认为LGBTIQ学者及其学术在政治学中仍然面临个人层面和结构性的歧视。这包括在教学、招聘和晋升、获得研究资金和出版过程中主动和被动的同性恋恐惧症和跨性别恐惧症。本文简要介绍了LGBTIQ学术在政治学中的地位。这篇文章主张在该领域为这类学术开辟新的空间，包括在《欧洲政治与性别杂志》(European Journal of Politics and Gender)等期刊的页面上。这篇文章借鉴了最近对该专业的研究，以及LGBTIQ主要思想家对他们在这个子领域的存在的思考。本文认为，LGBTIQ学者及其学术在政治学领域仍然面临歧视，这种忽视对该领域的知识生产并非没有影响。

Gender equality has long been adopted by states to indicate liberal values and respect for international norms. Feminist thought argues that the gendered hierarchies created by these norms underpin and sustain international relations. This article contributes to this literature on gendered norms and hierarchies through the case study of feminist foreign policy. It addresses four case-study countries who adopt feminist foreign policy – Sweden, Canada, France and Mexico – arguing that the developing norm of feminist foreign policy acts to signify liberal modernity and adherence to the international liberal order when deployed by states. It further argues that this deployment of feminist foreign policy contributes to existing gendered global hierarchies and these states’ positions on the world stage. As such, it contributes to the developing literature on feminist foreign policy and to wider work on norms and hierarchies around gender in global politics.Key messagesThe article provides a detailed comparative study of feminist foreign policy and its development in Sweden, Canada, France and Mexico.The article situates feminist foreign policy within the literature on global norms and hierarches, arguing that feminist foreign policy is as much about states’ positions on the world stage as it is about its policy content.The article argues that feminist foreign policy acts to signify these states’ adherence to the liberal world order and institutions, and their role as ‘good’ international actors.
