Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite academic interest in the negative effects of primaries on gender descriptive representation, we have little evidence on how this impact varies across territorial levels, especially among women with family responsibilities. We focus on Spain as a multilevel polity (national, regional, local chambers) with mandatory quotas to show that very few females with family responsibilities are selected in primaries at upper territorial levels. While primaries frequently facilitate women becoming local councillors, this method seems to exclude those with family responsibilities at regional and national levels where, to fulfil gender quotas, female candidates are more commonly appointed by the party elite. This process has repercussions since representatives selected by the leadership tend to be more disciplined and homogeneous than those selected in primaries.
女性描述性表现越高越难?担负家庭责任的妇女和西班牙地方、区域和国家商会的党内初选
尽管学术界对初选对性别描述性表征的负面影响很感兴趣,但我们很少有证据表明这种影响在地域层面上是如何变化的,尤其是在有家庭责任的女性中。我们将重点放在西班牙这个多级政体(国家、地区、地方商会)上,它有强制性配额,这表明有家庭责任的女性很少被选入高级地区一级的初选。虽然初选往往有利于妇女成为地方议员,但这种方法似乎排除了那些在地区和国家一级有家庭责任的人,在这些地方,为了实现性别配额,女性候选人通常由党内精英任命。这一过程产生了影响,因为由领导层选出的代表往往比初选中选出的代表更有纪律性和同质性。
