Since the return of democracy to Latin America, policies intended
to promote the inclusion of women and other underrepresented groups
have been increasingly adopted throughout the region. Gender quotas
have been one of the most popular and effective mechanisms employed
in elections and other contexts in Latin America. This volume
begins with an introduction to gender quotas, including discussion
of the types and merits of gender quotas, alternative approaches to
the study of quotas, and their interactions with different kinds of
electoral systems. Successive chapters examine the adoption of
gender quotas and their impacts in the three largest South American
countries by area-Argentina, Brazil, and Peru-at both national and
subnational levels. These chapters also focus on specific topics
that stand out in the unique experiences of these countries:
substantive representation in the case of Argentina, gender and
campaign finance in the case of Brazil, and regional differences in
the impact of electoral rules in the case of Peru. Through careful
analysis, this volume presents a nuanced picture of how different
types of electoral systems may affect the election of women and the
effectiveness of quotas.
