With all its diversity, the Pacific region has consistently held the lowest regional ranking of women in national parliaments since 2012. International support for gender equality expects increasing women's political participation and leadership, fostering programmes primarily focused on electoral system change and individual empowerment for women political aspirants. These strategies have been effective in Western countries and in some parts of Africa and Latin America, but have largely failed to gain purchase in the Pacific. Interviews with women candidates reveal that women's entry into parliament is a cause for deep-seated conflict in at least some countries in the region. Neo-institutional approaches assume that the hurdles women face can be overcome by better institutional design and targeted support for women. We argue that institutions tend to continue post-colonial patterns of domination and a deeper approach to transformation based on peace-building strategies is required. We sketch how an ‘elicitive’ conflict transformation approach might be relevant.

支持妇女作为太平洋政治角色的替代战略:建设和平之家

自2012年以来,太平洋地区拥有各种多样性,在各州议会中一直位列妇女中最低的区域排名。国际社会对两性平等的支持期望增加妇女的政治参与和领导能力,促进主要着眼于选举制度变革和赋予妇女政治权能的方案有抱负的人。这些策略在西方国家以及非洲和拉丁美洲的某些地区已经有效,但在太平洋地区基本上没有获得购买。对女候选人的采访表明,妇女进入议会是该地区至少某些国家内根深蒂固的冲突的原因。新制度主义的方法认为,更好的体制设计和对妇女的有针对性的支持可以克服妇女面临的障碍。我们认为,各机构往往会继续实行后殖民统治模式,因此需要以建设和平战略为基础的更深层次的变革方法。我们概述了“启发性”冲突转换方法可能如何相关。
