Abstract

Recent scholarship has examined formal and informal gendered rules that regulate the inner workings of governance settings (Childs, 2016; Erikson and Verge, 2020) in both national and cross-national studies; and the (discursive) convergence needed in order to bring about change (Erikson and Freidenvall, 2021). This has been examined how institutions affect the realization of substantive representation (Mackay, 2008) and drivers of democratic threat, such as violence against women (Krook, 2020). In this panel, presentations will illuminate the gendered rules that make up the political arena in a number of different countries in Northern Europe.
