Abstract

Objective This research investigates the impact of liberal and illiberal world society on women's legislative representation across a sample of developed and developing countries, and at the global level. Methods I estimate fixed effects panel regression models with robust standard errors clustered by country. Results I consistently find that liberal world society embeddedness helps explain cross‐national and longitudinal variations in women's legislative representation across all three country samples, while illiberal world society ties matter at the global level. Conclusion This analysis highlights the role of world culture in explaining the worldwide expansion of women's legislative representation across country development levels.
