Abstract

This article examines the influence of district-level party system dynamics on the list placement of women candidates. As local district competitive realities change, the strategic considerations for party leaders regarding the selection of non-mainstream political candidate profiles vary in important ways. We measure these dynamics with a set of novel variables that better capture variation in competition from district to district: individual party magnitude, district dominance and district contagion. Turkey’s lower level of party system nationalisation between 2002 and 2018 offers a useful case for such an investigation, and results reveal both the significance and pattern of influence on women candidates for all three strategic variables.

政党制度竞争中的地区差异与比例代表制中的女性候选人

本文考察了地区一级政党制度动态对女性候选人名单安置的影响。随着地方选区竞争现实的变化，政党领导人在选择非主流政治候选人方面的战略考虑在重要方面有所不同。我们用一组新颖的变量来衡量这些动态，这些变量可以更好地捕捉地区之间竞争的变化:个体政党规模、地区优势和地区传染。2002年至2018年期间，土耳其政党制度国有化程度较低，这为此类调查提供了一个有用的案例，结果揭示了所有三个战略变量对女性候选人的影响的重要性和模式。
