When the Heir Is a Woman: A Gendered Analysis of Lineage Democracy in South Asia The importance of “political families” is a familiar feature of South Asian political life. The fact that the role played by “heredity” in this domain favors women in contexts that are otherwise unfavorable to them makes it all the more remarkable. The family, a major site for the (re) production of gender representations and hierarchies, thus constitutes a point of entry to political life for South Asian women. Drawing upon Indian and Pakistani case studies, the present article seeks to examine the dynamics governing the intra-familial transmission of parliamentary mandates from the perspective of gender. Quantitative and qualitative study of women MPs in both countries since 1947 serve to underscore the possibilities and constraints of lineage politics for women. This gendered analysis reveals the complex interplay of familial, social and political power relations. ■ Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
