In parliament, women can adapt to the male-dominated environment or maintain distinctiveness. We study speaking style and parliamentary trajectories in twenty-one democracies across the world between 1987 and 2020.
We focus on the way in which the polarisation and salience of public opinion in states affects their approach to policy making on the international level, namely the Council of the European Union.
We study how voters trade off between different identities, how important these different identities are for them and how they interact with substantive policy positions.
