| description | The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effective impact of gender quota laws in Argentina and Brazil vis-á-vis the purpose for which they were enacted, namely, to achieve an increase in female presence in Parliaments, taking into account the conditions in which such participation takes place, closely linked to the electoral systems of both countries. Conceiving the electoral system as a construction impacting on political dynamics is a first step to later consider the analysis of women’s participation and access to power spaces within our democracies. For this reason, different subdimensions of the system will evaluate, such as the suffrage, the conversion of votes into seats, the candidatures, the size and composition of the Assembly and the structure of legally established gender quotas. Three legislative electoral moments of each of the two countries will be considered: the elections prior to the enacting of the quota law, the elections immediately following the norm and the last elections. |

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo evaluar el impacto efectivo de las leyes de cuota de género en Argentina y Brasil respecto de la finalidad para la cual fueron sancionadas, a saber, lograr un incremento de la presencia femenina en los parlamentos, considerando además las condiciones en que dicha participación tiene lugar, estrechamente ligada al sistema electoral de ambos países. Cuestionar el sistema electoral, como construcción que impacta en la dinámica política, es un primer paso para avanzar en el análisis de la participación y el acceso de las mujeres a espacios de poder al interior de nuestras democracias. Con tal motivo se evaluarán distintas subdimensiones del propio sistema, tales como el sufragio, la conversión de votos en escaños, las candidaturas, el tamaño y la composición de la Asamblea y la estructura de las cuotas de género establecidas legalmente. Para ello serán considerados tres momentos electorales legislativos de cada uno de los dos países: las elecciones previas a la sanción de la ley de cuota, las elecciones inmediatamente posteriores a la norma y las últimas elecciones. 2019-09-02 2022-03-16T20:16:51Z 2022-03-16T20:16:51Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe092 10.24215/25457284e092 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/33957 spa https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe092/11159 https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe092/11180 https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe092/11160 text/html application/pdf application/epub+zip Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigaciones en Género.
