The Use of Quotas for Women’s Political Representation in the European Parliament

Europolity – Continuity and Change in European Governance - New Series, 2013, vol. 7, issue 1, 35-52

Abstract: In this article I try to anticipate what would be the impact of introducing a quota system for women’s political representation in the European Union. The perspective I use is that of the EU as a federal model that develops according to a neofunctionalist dynamic. In the analysis, I shall refer to the proposal of introducing a single electoral law for the European elections.

Keywords: Women’s political representation; electoral quotas; European electoral law; proportional representation; legitimacy. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
