Our proposal addresses the influence of multilevel politics in women’s recruitment and circulation in parliamentary cabinets. There is an increasing literature on the role of social structural, ideological and political factors explaining the recruitment of women in cabinet positions.
The main hypothesis of our paper (multilevel settings affects gender representation in parliamentary cabinets) will be checked by analysing over time: a) whether multilevel careers affects the women cabinet recruitment at any of both levels; b) whether multilevel politics affects the durability of women at any of both levels; c) whether multilevel politics affects the reappointment of women in subsequent reshuffles. Our paper employs data from 1980 to 2013 from all national regional cabinet appointments in Spain and Belgium, using empirical tools such logistics regression and event history anal
