Resumo: | The present article analyzes women political participation in Latin America through their presence in national legislative chambers. Institutional elements are privileged, focusing on two variables: presence or absence of gender quotas and electoral (open or closed) list system. It aims to answer whether the combination of closed list system and quotas existence potentiates women election to the 14 Latin American lower or sole legislative chambers. Historical data on women’s presence were analyzed, allowing for the creation of three groups, which were later analyzed qualitatively. The study allowed us to confirm the hypothesis on the cumulative effect as the countries with both variables showed the best results; and, at the same time, question it partially, by identifying countries such as Ecuador, which is among the ones with the greatest percentages and shows only one of the variables. |

São privilegiados fatores institucionais, destacadamente duas variáveis: existência ou não de cotas de gênero e formato de lista eleitoral (aberta ou fechada). Objetiva-se responder se a combinação de lista fechada e existência de cotas potencializa a eleição de mulheres nas câmaras baixas ou únicas de 14 países latino-americanos. São levantados dados históricos da presença de mulheres, os quais permitiram agrupar os casos em três conjuntos, posteriormente analisados de forma qualitativa. O estudo permitiu confirmar a hipótese do efeito cumulativo, tendo os países que apresentam as duas variáveis demonstrado os melhores resultados; ao mesmo tempo, questioná-la, em parte, ao identificar países como o Equador, o qual está entre os que possuem maior porcentagem e apresenta somente uma das variáveis.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2016-06-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/4459310.1590/%xRevista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 24 No. 2 (2016); 417-441Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 24 Núm. 2 (2016); 417-441Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 24 n. 2 (2016); 417-4411806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/44593/31748Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSpohr, Alexandre PifferoMaglia, CristianaMachado, GabrielOliveira, Joana Oliveira de2018-09-25T14:06:23Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/44593Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:32.045307Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true |
