Abstract
The Parity's Divergence. Or What's to be Done to Bypass the Parity Law : the Alpes-Maritimes Case Aurélia Troupel Putting parity law into practice, on the occasion of the 2001 local elections in France, had limited results. Actually, this new normative rule thwarting customary rules, has been for the most part neutralized by elected officials. A quantitative study shows that, on the one hand, 2/3 of mayors in the Alpes-Maritimes have used strategies in order to limit the number of women in town councils, especially as deputy mayors ; on the other hand, only 1/3 has gone beyond the letter of the law. The different variables analysed to explain differences between cities obviously favorable or hostile to parity proved irrelevant. Finally, the electoral scheme seems to be the most pertinent variable.
