This book explores the "Turkish paradox" - women's lower
representation in local politics than in parliament. By analyzing
life stories of 200 female municipal councilors and party
representatives, it offers a comprehensive assessment of what makes
local politics in Turkey particularly inaccessible to women. It
places women's pathways within the cycles of exclusion, starting by
political socialization, going through the candidate recruitment
process and continuing after the election. The research presented
here brings together gender studies and political sociology and
offers novel applications of concepts including intersectionality
and biographical availability. It covers all major political
parties and diverse local configurations in Turkey, and reveals
political strategies of women in conservative parties as well as
the reasons behind the exceptionally high representation of women
within the pro-Kurdish political parties. The book further sheds
some light on the intricate relationship between women's political
activity and regime change in the context of democratic
backsliding.
