Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Given the slow speed by which women’s representation in political bodies has increased, there have been amplified calls for more effective measures to reach gender balance in political institutions. Gender quotas represent one such measure. In fact, since 1995, gender quotas have rapidly spread across the world (Dahlerup, 2006; Dahlerup & Freidenvall, 2005; Krook, 2009; Lépinard & Rubio-Marín, 2018). Today, more than one hundred countries have adopted gender quotas to “fast-track” women’s representation in elected bodies of governments, ranging from reserved seats, legislated candidate quotas, and party quotas at national and/or subnational levels. While gender quotas vary in terms of design, where they are used, and to what extent they have achieved their objectives, they represent a major electoral reform, changing the dynamics of candidate selection and the traditional norms of politics as a male business.This chapter addresses this global phenomenon – this gender quota revolution – by focusing on three key aspects: What are gender quotas, why are they adopted, and how have they been implemented (effect). The ways in which they have contributed to the diffusion of quotas in other arenas (spill-over) are also addressed. The chapter is based on our extensive research in the field over the past 20 years, as well as additional research by colleagues across the world. In general, gender quotas are a mounting research area and subject to scientific discussions in dissertations, journal articles, and books, as well as at numerous conferences (Dahlerup, 2019).

A legislative gender-equality norm as a catalyst for change? Discursive convergence in the case of the Swedish Parliament
- 2021

In: European Journal of Politics and Gender. - : Bristol University Press. - 2515-1088 .- 2515-1096. ; 4:3, s. 403-421

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article addresses the establishment of gender-equality norms in a case often presented as one of the most gender-equal legislatures in the world, namely, the Swedish Parliament (Riksdagen). Based on a series of in-depth interviews between 2005 and 2016 with 90 legislators in the Swedish Parliament, we ask whether there is agreement over gender-equality problems in Parliament that cut across gender and party affiliation, and whether there is convergence over time in this regard. Our findings show that there is a trend of convergence of the gender-inequality framings over time, which indicates the establishment of a shared legislative gender-equality norm. We suggest that a legislative gender-equality norm might work as a catalyst for progressive and continuous work in this area.

Exploring Sustainability in Parliamentary Gender Equality Work. Insights from the Swedish Riksdag

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Recent research has pointed to the need for addressing gender equality in parliaments in a broader perspective, focusing on gender sensitivity in parliaments in relation to structures, operations, methods and work. Up to now, however, the question of what it takes for this work to be long-lasting and sustainable has received limited attention. This article seeks to address this gap through a case study assessing the sustainability of the internal work of the Riksdag (the Swedish Parliament) with regard to gender equality, focusing on the durability and renewal of early initiatives and reforms. On the basis of Riksdag documents and interviews with MPs during the period 1994-2022, we ask: How sustainable is the internal gender equality work of the Riksdag with respect to the three key areas of representation, infrastructure and culture? We find that the Riksdag has managed to conduct sustainable gender equality work over the course of three decades. Major factors in this success are the institutionalization of a Gender Equality Group, the adoption of Action Plans for Gender Equality every parliamentary term and the legitimacy provided by the support of the Speaker of the Riksdag and the Riksdag Board.

Avoiding Quotas at All Costs : The Swedish Dilemma

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter assesses the adoption and implementation of voluntary measures on gender balance on the boards of listed companies in the Swedish corporate governance code. The self-regulatory approach was advocated by the corporate sector itself in order to avoid legislation on corporate gender quotas. The outcome is rather ambivalent. While the change has resulted in a gradual increase in women’s representation on corporate boards, this increase has been slow and has not yet led to gender balance. Gendered norms of equal representation of women and men in leadership positions in the economic sector have evolved. Challenges remain, and this particularly when it comes to the number of women chairpersons and CEOs. The lack of awareness of gender equality gaps among young business leaders also indicates that automatic and linear progress is not a given.
