The Patriarchal Political Order : The Making and Unraveling of the Gendered Participation Gap in India Hardback
by Soledad Artiz (Stanford University, California) Prillaman
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series
Hardback
Description
Women across the Global South, and particularly in India, turn out to vote on election days but are noticeably absent from politics year-round.
Why? In The Patriarchal Political Order, Soledad Artiz Prillaman combines descriptive and causal analysis of qualitative and quantitative data from more than 9,000 women and men in India to expose how coercive power structures diminish political participation for women.
Prillaman unpacks how dominant men, imbued with authority from patriarchal institutions and norms, benefit from institutionalizing the household as a unitary political actor.
Women vote because it serves the interests of men but stay out of politics more generally because it threatens male authority.
Yet, when women come together collectively to demand access to political spaces, they become a formidable foe to the patriarchal political order.
Eye-opening and inspiring, this book serves to deepen our understanding of what it means to create an inclusive democracy for all.
