Malaysias representation of women as parliamentarians remains one of the lowest in comparison to other Southeast Asian and global parliamentary democracies. However, when contextualized against Malaysias politics of divides and dissent starting from 1999 onward, there are some newer characteristics of womens involvement in formal politics. This paper explores the specificities of womens experience in formal politics under the one-party dominant rule of the National Front before it was defeated in the May 2018 general election. The paper questions various incidents of political transitioning from an old to a newer political regime. Processes such as the collaboration between womens civil society and formal state political actors, the cultivation of clientelist and patronage relations, and the maintenance of a cohesive multiparty coalition as a strategy for electoral advantage have all had fruitful bearings on the way the formalization of women in politics has developed. However, given the insufficiency of these developments for increasing womens representation, this paper proposes the more reliable gender quota or reserved seats mechanism as one of the considerations for gender electoral reform.

Skripsi ini membahas mengenai strategi Australian Labor Party (ALP) mendorong peningkatan representasi perempuan di parlemen Australia tahun 2016 melalui kuota gender sebagai “fast track” dan didukung oleh NLWN bersama EMILY’s List sebagai “incremental track” yang diterapkan oleh ALP untuk yang memperjuangkan keterwakilan perempuan ALP di Parlemen Australia. Ketimpangan gender dalam politik di Australia mendorong pemerintah Australia mengesahkan kebijakan tindakan afirmatif untuk kelompok minoritas termasuk di dalamnya perempuan. Di sisi lain, keterwakilan perempuan di parlemen diserahkan kepada partai politik. Namun, partai politik sering kali tidak cukup mampu untuk menerapkan kebijakan kuota gender 30 persen secara murni tanpa adanya agenda politik di dalamnya. Berangkat dari hal tersebut, ALP hadir sebagai salah satu partai politik terbesar di Australia berperan aktif dalam mengimplementasikan tindakan afirmatif melalui kuota gender dan NLWN. Untuk memahami topik ini, penulis menggunakan teori Perempuan, Kuota, dan Politik yang dipopulerkan oleh Drude Dahlerup dalam memahami aspek yang dapat diwujudkan partai politik untuk mendorong keterwakilan perempuan di Australia. Skripsi ini menemukan ALP menggunakan dua model untuk mendorong keterwakilan perempuan di parlemen, yakni model fast track dalam bentuk kuota gender dan model incremental track dalam bentuk pelatihan, mentoring, dan bantuan keuangan yang dilakukan oleh NLWN dan EMILY’s List. ......This thesis discusses the efforts of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) to encourage increased representation of women in the Australian Parliament in 2016 through a gender quota as a “fast track” and supported by NLWN together with EMILY's List as an “incremental track” implemented by ALP for those who fight for ALP women's representation in the Australian Parliament. Gender inequality in politics in Australia prompted the Australian government to adopt an affirmative action policy for minority groups including women. Meanwhile, specifically, the affairs of women's representation in parliament are left to political parties. However, political parties are often not capable enough to implement a 30 percent gender quota policy purely without a political agenda in it. Departing from this, ALP is present as one of the largest political parties in Australia, plays an active role in implementing affirmative action through gender quotas and NLWN. To understand this topic, the author also uses the Women, Quota, and Politics theory popularized by Drude Dahlerup in understanding aspects that can be realized by political parties to encourage women's representation in Australia. This thesis found that ALP uses two models to encourage women’s representations in parliament, namely the fast track model in the form of a gender quota and the incremental track form of training, mentoring, and financial assistance conducted by NLWN and EMILY’s List.
