Cross-parliamentary control
Parting with ‘interests of women’
The concept of ‘women’s interests’ has received a large amount of scholarly attention. In particular, the problematic assumption underpinning this concept – that women share interests – has been an object of much consideration. Yet, while scholarship on the substantive representation of women has today moved free of this assumption, three other assumptions have not been scrutinised to the same degree. These are: (1) that political interests are a…
Parliamentary representation of overseas territories in the metropolis
The consequences of ‘Brexit’ are many, and one that is little discussed is the reigniting of the debate as to whether Britain’s Overseas Territories (BOTs) should have direct representation within the United Kingdom Houses of Parliament; presently they do not. Proponents suggest that this would strengthen the territories’ voice in, and links with, Britain. The article considers this debate by drawing on some of the extant literature on what const…
Pitkin’s Second Way
Within the last decade, sociologists as well as scholars of political culture and elections have come to conclusions that should warn us about studying political interests as something that is linked to the identity of people in a group. Yet, despite innovation within representation theory concerning the way in which we are to approach and study identity groups, representation theorists, for the most part, continue to conceive of interest as some…
Assessing the Impact of Parliamentary Design
This article contributes to the literature on parliamentary design in general and the pioneer literature on parliamentary bodies specialized in gender equality in particular. It does so by establishing a frame for the critical assessment of the impacts of such an institutional design. Moreover, by using interviews and data on the behavior of committee members, it demonstrates the advantages of applying a mixed method within a field that has mostl…
Towards a Dual Approach
Drawing on insights from state feminism and legislative studies on parliamentary committees, this article develops a dual approach for the comparative analysis of committees on gender equality. Empirically, it compares the standing committees on gender equality in Denmark and Finland, two Nordic countries acknowledged as forerunners in gender equality, which also have ‘fairly strong’ parliamentary standing committees. The results show that both c…
