摘要

摘要：对美国性别、背景和代表性的现有研究表明，女性在候选人、获奖者和整个政治机构中的代表性仍然不足。为了更好地了解这些性别差距的来源，必须更多地考虑初选中的战略性进入决定。我们使用2001-2005年各州立法初选的汇总数据来研究这个问题。我们发现了令人信服的证据，表明女性进入初选并获胜的概率受到地区政治背景的影响，尤其是女性的友好程度和宗教信仰。这些结果支持了战略进入假说，并提供了进一步的证据，证明女性在美国政治机构中代表性的最重大障碍先于选举政治。

Gender, Entry, and Victory in State Legislative Primary Elections

ABSTRACT Extant research on gender, context, and representation in the United States reveals women remain underrepresented as candidates, winners, and throughout political institutions. To better understand the sources of these gender gaps, greater consideration must be given to strategic entry decisions in primary elections. We study this question using aggregate data from state legislative primaries from 2001–2015. We find compelling evidence that women’s probability of entry and victory in primary contests is affected by district political context – especially women-friendliness and religiosity. These results support the strategic entry hypothesis and provide further evidence that the most significant barriers to the representation of women in American political institutions precede electoral politics.

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.
