Abstract
Quotas are products of interactions between international and local factors and should be analyzed through those interactions. This article examines the processes of passage and implementation of a gender quota on Jordan's municipal councils and the public discourse accompanying those processes. Preliminary results show the quota encouraged many women to enter the political arena, but public discourse in Jordan does not look favorably on international intervention in women's issues. Although it is too soon to determine the quota's outcome, the process by which the public sphere comes to understand the quota will shape its long-term effects in significant ways.
