A replication of "Women Representation in Parliaments: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis" (Political Studies, 2010)

This paper replicates the results of the paper by Krook, M. L. on the Women Representation in Parliaments in 22 developed countries in the west. The data used by Krook was obtained from COMPASSS (COMPArative Methods for Systematic Cross-Case Analysis) and the analysis followed her exact methods and are able to replicate the major findings. However, the paper idetified that krook's conclusions did not conform to the standard solution (i.e., the intermediate solution) often used in Qualitative Comparative Analysis. By extending the analysis to the standard intermediate solution approach, this replication arrives at differing conclusions. Please see the longer version of the article for details.
