Women's Political Parties in Europe
In representative democracies, political parties organize the public will, giving expression to political differences in society (see Katz and Mair 1995; Klingemann, Hofferbert, and Budge 1994; Sartori 1967). Parties can also deepen democracy by broadening the connections between representatives and constituents, helping to hold political institutions accountable and increasing the participation of previously marginalized groups (see Costain 2005…
So You Want to Create a Student Research Journal? How to Craft a Journal Based on Peer Learning
Although many university educators and administrators seek to promote student research, opportunities to do so often are rare or costly. This case study of the undergraduate academic journal Clocks&Clouds provides a clear model for reaping the rewards of this high-impact educational experience based on peer learning. The goal of this article is to institutionalize knowledge by reviewing Clocks&Clouds , American University's undergraduate research…
Measuring Women-Friendly Policy in the American States
Scholars and advocates frequently rank the American states in terms of the favorability of their policy positions on a range of issues, including “women-friendliness.” We examine if this is an identifiable dimension among 32 policies selected by women's interest organizations as important “women-friendly” planks and adopted by 50 states. We identify 8 policies that cohere empirically in the adoption pattern of states. Our list suggests that if wo…
A Collarette on a Donkey
When ideas or tactics catch on across parties in a multiparty system the process is termed contagion. Scholars have identified many examples of contagion, particularly dealing with gender quotas and the number of female candidates. The theory of contagion has, however, suffered from both narrow application and underdevelopment historically, particularly because the literature on contagion focuses exclusively on relations between parties. Yet the …

Sheer Numbers
Studies of women in legislatures indicate that achieving a "critical mass" of women may have the effect of changing the legislative priorities of women, increasing the number of legislative initiatives dealing with women and the passage rate of such initiatives, and altering the legislative priorities of men. In the absence of a critical mass, "token" women may be so constrained by their minority status as to be unable to respond proactively to t…
Teaching Politics Using Antigone
Antigone , Sophocles' 5 th century take on the Oedipus story, dramatizes war, fratricide, attempted patricide, suicide, the loss of young love, civil disobedience, and capital punishment. These elements make for great theatre but Antigone is also an immensely useful tool to engage undergraduate students from many disciplines in learning about politics. I use Antigone as a “motivating text” in political theory courses to engage students in the stu…

Women in Northern Ireland politics
Women constitute 14 per cent of the 108 member parliament in Northern Ireland, created in 1998 as an outgrowth of the peace process. Using data from 45 interviews with 27 Members of the Legislative Assembly in 2000 and 2001, this study analyses the role of women in the new Assembly by comparing the women to their male colleagues and considering what opportunities are available for men and women to have an effect on the evolution of this instituti…
Gender, Power, and Peace
This study focuses on how women legislators can affect peace-building in transitional societies by examining the role of female Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) in Northern Ireland. Using interviews with 12 of the 14 women MLAs and 6 male pair-matches, this study assesses the women's approach to politics, their perceptions of their roles, and the institutional challenges they face as representatives of women in a strongly traditional so…
