“…Countries receiving international aid are particularly permeable to normative pressures as quota adoption signals their commitment to democracy, which is oftentimes a condition to aid (Bush 2011;Edgell 2017). As such, quotas have been the object of international imposition (Krook 2006)b as they became one of the tenants defining state modernity (see (Dutoya 2016) for the cases of India and Pakistan, (Al-Tamimi 2018) for the Iraqi case) and are hence used as "signaling devices" to show countries' commitment to democracy (Edgell 2017).…”

“…For example, considering later opposition to the re-enactement of a gender quota, India was surprisingly enough the first country to adopt such a policy. In this case, initial quota enactment was instrumental to strengthening colonial rule for its role was to legitimise existing political institutions rather than promoting women's representation (Dutoya 2016). Discursive shifts can also lead to policy changes after the initial enactment of a quota as was the case in several Latin American countries that replaced quotas for parity laws : gender balance became a prerequisite for democracy and was hence integrated as a permanent measure (Piscopo 2016)b.…”

Gender quotas have proliferated worldwide as a major tool of gender equality policies, first in the electoral arena and then expanding to other socioeconomic spheres, notably corporate boards. The ensuing rich body of scientific literature on gender quotas so far remains split across disciplines, with a main partition between political science and economics. This scoping review aims at fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue between research on gender quotas conducted from different disciplinary and methodological perspectives. To this effect, we compiled an original bibliographical database of 379 peer-reviewed articles, which we coded according to a series of variables including discipline, geographical area, quota domain, methodology and research question. Drawing on this database, this review presents an overview of the main findings regarding the genesis and the impact of this policy tool, and offers ideas for the further development of interdisciplinary quota research.

Defining Women’s Representation: Debates around Gender Quotas in India and France

In 1999, after a heated debate on gender parity in political representation, the French constitution was amended to include the principle of “equal representation” of both sexes. This paved the way for the introduction of gender quotas. In the same period, a bill providing reservations for women at the national level provoked a political crisis in India. The objective of this article is to compare both debates, looking in particular at the way women’s representation was framed. In France, the main argument against quotas was that republican representation should be unitary and transcend social differences, but at the end of the 1990s, women in mainstream politics were seen as one element of the dual nature of human kind, different from other categories such as class or race. In India, the specific representation of certain groups (Dalits, lower castes, tribal groups) had been the traditional framework for political representation since independence in 1947. But when the bill proposed to extend reservations to women, opponents of the project claimed that women did not constitute a category in themselves, and that sex should be intersected with caste and religion for the attribution of quotas. Looking at parliamentary debates, articles, and tribunes supporting or opposing quotas in both countries, we show that the arguments mobilized reveal different conceptions of the political representation of gender difference, which are partly transversal and partly specific to each country.
