Alegerile locale și reprezentarea politică parlamentară. Trambulină pentru bărbați, obstacol pentru femei?
Journal Title: Sfera Politicii - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 3
Abstract
Local elections might be perceived as gender neutral when it comes to women’s descriptive representation in the Parliament. However, according to quantitative and qualitative data from the 2016 elections, I argue that local elections play a role in the larger economy of gender and legislative elections. Together with other factors, local elections shape a more favorable context for men than for women. Local elections are important for nominating candidates and ranking them. Local elections are a filter for the legislative electoral lists, represent a pipeline for legislative recruitment and they also boost control over the party list. From a gender perspective neither of the three is favorable to women.
