    Study Notes

    Women's Resistance Strategies

    • Internal resistance of women advocating for party quotas explains differential performance of countries in terms of women's representation in Parliament.
    • Legislated and voluntary party quotas have a "contagion effect" and have been adopted by 181 parties in 58 countries to nominate candidates for parliamentary elections.
    • Mainly socialist, green, and communist parties have adopted gender quotas.

    Concept of Citizenship

    • Citizenship is a general concept for theoretical and empirical analysis of links between individuals, institutions, and the State.
    • Definition: a member of a political community, endowed with prerogatives and entrusted with responsibilities (Michael Walzer).
    • Includes rights and responsibilities: individuals enjoying rights and accepting duties in return.
    • Linked to the emergence of democracy, emerged with the American and French Revolutions in the 18th century.

    T.H. Marshall's Stages of Citizenship

    • 1st stage (18th century): civil rights (freedom of speech, thought, ownership, contract, and equal justice) were granted to citizens.
    • 2nd stage (19th century): political rights (voting and eligibility rights) were granted to citizens.
    • 3rd stage (20th century): social rights (education, wealth, housing, etc.) were granted to citizens.

    Remarks on Citizenship

    • Rights and duties: citizens are endowed with prerogatives and in charge of responsibilities.
    • Moral dimension: good citizenship, virtue, civism (e.g., act of voting).
    • Citizenship and nationality: not always synonymous, with exceptions for minors, criminals, and EU citizenship.

    Citizenship and the Welfare State

    • Marshall considers the implementation of the welfare state a supreme stage of citizenship.
    • The Welfare State extends citizenship to include social rights.
    • Formal vs. real citizenship: citizens must have the dignity necessary to exercise their rights.

    Gender and Citizenship

    • Traditional political theory considers citizenship as universal, but gender studies question this assumption.
    • Women's citizenship development has not followed the same historical pattern as men's.
    • The design of a single process of citizenship development based on a masculine model introduces bias.

    Political Socialization

    • Mechanism of internalization of societal norms and values.
    • Linked to society's ability to shape and transform individuals.
    • Operation of selected re-appropriation: individuals select among influences.

    Citizens and Politics: Political Participation

    • Set of activities by which citizens try to appeal to public authorities.
    • Includes voting, donating, running for office, and writing petitions.
    • Activities are interrelated and hierarchical, forming a cumulative process.

    Models of Political Participation

    • Milbrath's pyramid: apathetic, spectator, transitional, and gladiatorial activities.
    • Almond and Verba's civic culture: combination of minority activism and majority indifference ensures stability.
    • Verba and Nye's SES model: political participation is unevenly distributed among the population, with socio-economic status.
    • Critiques of early works: limited conception of political participation, ignoring context and multidimensionality.
