- 요약Why do women systematically participate in state-based politics at lower rates than men do? And, when state and nonstate institutions coexist, under what conditions do individuals support or undermine their legitimacy?This dissertation builds evidence on two groups often marginalized by state politics - women and those living under traditional governance. I focus on these questions within the fifth most populous country in the world, Pakistan. Chapter 1 begins by noting that Pakistan has one of the widest gender gaps in political participation and agency. Qualitative interviews with women in the megacities of Lahore and Karachi suggest that the role of (im)mobility - including women's reliance on male family members and street security concerns that disproportionately lead to women curtailing trips outside of the home - has been overlooked in existing explanations for this gap. The chapter then uses a survey experiment and national voting data, set within a reform that segregated some voters by gender, to suggest that election-day mobility constraints help explain this gender gap in turnout. Chapter 2 also assesses unintended consequences of reforms, turning to the recent merger of the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and of traditional dispute resolution councils to formal state courts. I theorize that groups facing status loss in state courts may entrench traditional institutions, and provide descriptive evidence on the role of gender in determining engagement with traditional and state politics. In Chapter 3, I use an experiment to assess how state-building efforts like improving performance and appealing to minoritized groups impact the decision to comply. My results show evidence of a backlash effect, where upsetting existing power dynamics eclipses the overall benefits brought by a new formal institution.Together, the three chapters provide new insights on the political behavior of women and those under traditional governance, showing that institutional interventions to reach groups with weak ties to the state can backfire due to long-standing inequalities.
