[Politics @JournalPolitics]

1/4. New publication 📢
“Gender electoral quotas and women’s inequitable incorporation in politics: What women bear and political parties gain in Medan, Indonesia” by Tanya Jakimow, Asima Yanty Siahaan, Yumasdaleni, and Aida Fitria Harahap.

3/4. The authors introduce “inequitable incorporation” as a new analytical lens:
What do women contribute?
Who benefits from their efforts?
What do they receive in return?
Findings suggest party elites and successful candidates, mostly men, capture many of the benefits.
