Gendered electoral financing
This volume is a cross-regional examination of the connection between money, gender and political recruitment across the world. Illustrated by research from six country studies (France, Ireland, Cabo Verde, US, Malawi, Ghana), it explains the cost of elections, gender imbalance in political office and the effects of financial incentive mechanisms to increase women’s representation in politics. Money is probably one of the biggest barriers to women in the political recruitment process. By comparing how gendered electoral financing affects political recruitment processes in both established and emerging democracies, the authors identify whether and how the funding mechanisms encourage a shift in political behavior.
