The goal of this project is to find out how strategic considerations of political parties affect women's parliamentary participation. The grant is used to support a comparative study of six OECD countries: Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, and the United States. The first component of the project is in-depth, qualitative interviews with 54 party officials (two from each significant party) in each of these countries. The interview data clarify whether three factors -- the salience of women's issues in the media, party ideology, and the rise of egalitarian new parties -- produce strategic inventives for political parties to promote women. The second component of the project is the distribution of 2,430 multiple-choice questionnaires to all members of parliament (MPs) in these six countries. The responses of the MPs to the questions concerning the impact of the three factors mentioned above is analyzed to find out if they are correlated statistically with the party's performance in recruiting female MPs. Both of these components are part of a larger project which includes indirect measures of the three factors and time series analysis. Each part enhances our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie gender equality in our parliaments. Thus, each is a step toward developing effective strategies to improve our democracies.

该项目的目的是找出政党的战略考虑如何影响妇女议会的参与。 该赠款用于支持对六个经合组织国家的比较研究：瑞典，荷兰，英国，德国，奥地利和美国。 该项目的第一个组成部分是对这些国家中每个国家的54名党官员（来自每个重要政党的两个）进行深入的定性访谈。 访谈数据阐明了三个因素 - 媒体意识形态中妇女问题的显着性以及平等新政党的兴起 - 为政党促进妇女提供战略性发明。该项目的第二部分是向这六个国家的所有议会议员（MPS）分配2,430个多项选择问卷。 分析了国会议员对上述三个因素影响的问题的回答，以查明它们是否与该党在招募女性国会议员中的绩效统计上相关。这两个组件都是一个较大项目的一部分，其中包括三个因素和时间序列分析的间接度量。 每个部分都增强了我们对议会中性别平等基础的机制的理解。 因此，每个人都是制定有效策略以改善我们的民主国家的一步。
