Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Cross-national studies which have examined the differences in European women's political representation have identified a number of variables (e.g., cultural, social, economic, political, and institutional) which, together with pressure from feminist movements, help explain the phenomenon. These studies show that pressure applied by the women's movement to obtain equal representation in decision-making arenas has been a determining factor for achieving this goal. Unlike in other countries, studies in Italy have argued that the unfavorable cultural, social and political opportunity structures explain the limited advances in women's political representation. These studies are problematic because they fail to consider how women's movements affect the number of women in politics. This paper seeks to overcome the shortcomings of these studies by examining the impact women had on three debates over political representation: the one which developed in the 80s within the various groups of the women's movement and women's policy agencies; the debate about the electoral system reforms adopted in the 90s; and the one over decentralization and the reorganization of local government in Italy. It shows that the women's movement and women in political parties were not always successful in their attempts to increase women's political representation and to gender policy debates, and examines some of the reasons why this was the case.
