| dc.description | There is no sufficient evidence regarding the relationship between descriptive and women’s substantive representation in the Mexican Congress. This research asks, what characteristics do lawmakers who promote the rights and interests of women share? Critical actors theory calls for research to emphasize agents over numbers. Thus, information about the identity of sponsoring deputies was studied for the LXIII and LXIV Congresses. Results show that individual actors, mostly female legislators, promote women’s representation. Some have seniority, but most have no experience as elected officials, nor as part of the Congressional leadership. This suggests that actors who have the political will to promote women's issues have the least power to do so, which, in turn, undermines the power of a critical mass. | en-US |
| dc.description | La evidencia sobre la relación entre la representación descriptiva y sustantiva de las mujeres en el Congreso mexicano es limitada. ¿Qué características comparten los legisladores que promueven los derechos e intereses de las mujeres? La teoría de actores críticos exige enfocarse en el perfil de quienes representantes. A través del estudio de factores de identidad de quienes integraron la LXIII y LXIV Legislaturas, se demuestra que actores individuales, en su mayoría mujeres, son quienes promueven la representación de las mujeres. La mayoría no tiene experiencia legislativa ni forman parte de las elites del Congreso. Esto sugiere que quienes tienen voluntad política para representar a las mujeres tienen menos poder para hacerlo, lo que socava el poder de una masa crítica. | es-ES |
