Abstract

ABSTRACT Do donor states reward recipient states for signaling a commitment to expanding the role of women in political decision making? Previous studies show that women are associated with positive outcomes for peace duration and governance. We theorize that donor states reward recipient states that make a commitment to women’s empowerment in political decision making and test our hypotheses using data on the distribution of US foreign aid to recipient states. We find that recipient states that adopt legislative quotas and include more women in their parliaments receive more aid, although a female head of government is not associated with more aid.

女性获得政治领导机会的扩大是否有回报?来自美国对外援助分配的证据

摘要捐助国是否会奖励承诺扩大妇女在政治决策中作用的受援国？先前的研究表明，妇女与和平时期和治理的积极成果有关。我们的理论是，捐助国奖励在政治决策中致力于赋予妇女权力的受援国，并使用美国对外援助分配给受援国的数据来检验我们的假设。我们发现，采用立法配额并在议会中包括更多女性的受援国获得了更多的援助，尽管女性政府首脑与更多的援助无关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
