摘要

本文强调了描述性代表通过包容性政党建设加强民主的一种新方式。我们的理论是,政党会根据性别标准保留和提拔现任者,从而不成比例地激励女性招募党员。然而,性别资源的不平等降低了妇女获得招募所需的赞助的机会。妇女的应对措施是招募更多的女性党员,因为这可以降低招募成本,使角色一致,并简化信用要求。利用巴西 2004 年至 2020 年丰富的党员行政数据和回归不连续设计,我们发现,尽管存在资源差异,女市长招募新党员的比率与男性相似,但却缩小了党员的性别差距。不出所料,在那些最能缩小党员性别差距的选区,女性更有可能获得晋升。我们还发现,女性党员人数的增加提高了政党的应变能力。我们的研究结果表明,描述性代表通过纳入代表性不足的公民来加强党的建设。

Descriptive Representation and Party Building: Evidence from Municipal Governments in Brazil
This article highlights a new way in which descriptive representation enhances democracy through inclusive party building. We theorize that parties retain and promote incumbents based on gendered criteria, disproportionately incentivizing women to recruit party members. However, gendered resource inequalities lower women’s access to the patronage required for recruitment. Women respond by recruiting more women members, as it lowers recruitment costs, is role-congruent, and eases credit claiming. Using rich administrative data on party membership from 2004 to 2020 and a regression discontinuity design in Brazil, we find that, despite resource disparities, women mayors recruit new members at similar rates as men but reduce the gender gap in party membership. As expected, women are more likely to be promoted in constituencies where they most lower the gender gap in party membership. We also find that women’s increased membership improves party resilience. Our findings suggest that descriptive representation strengthens party building by including underrepresented citizens.
