Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: With the large number of transitions away from authoritarian rule in the late twentieth century and the seeming “triumph” of democratic government, a good deal of recent scholarship has focused on the performance of democracy in both newly established and long-standing democratic systems. One area of performance where democracies vary substantially is in the number of women holding positions of power in appointive governmental positions. Only a very few scholars have investigated the causes of the cross-national gap in women’s appointment to cabinet posts, however, and most of those are case studies, small-n studies, or are limited to only one point in time. Using a pooled cross-sectional time-series analysis, this paper examines the determinants of women’s representation at the cabinet level in both long-established and more recently formed democracies, paying special attention to the role that different institutional structures play in producing differing levels of women’s representation in the executive branch. The results indicate that democratic political institutions do matter, with power-sharing structures playing either an indirect but positive role in shaping the number of women elected to parliament, or a direct but negative role in reducing the number of women holding cabinet portfolios. These findings suggest that further research is needed to determine how institutional structures are mediating traditional influences to produce different levels of women’s representation, both in legislatures and in cabinets.
