The democratizing era, however, brought alongside it a phenomenon that Manduhai Buyandelger terms electionizationa restructuring of elections from time-grounded events into a continuous neoliberal force that governs everyday life beyond the electoral period. In this way, electoral campaigns have come to substitute for the functions of governing, from social welfare to the private sector, requiring an accumulation of wealth and power beyond the reach of most women candidates. In <em>A Thousand Steps to Parliament</em>, Buyandelger shows how successful women candidates instead use strategies of self-polishing to cultivate charisma and a reputation for being <em>oyunlag</em>, or <em>intellectful</em>. This carefully crafted identity can be called the electable self: treating their bodies and minds as pliable and renewable, women candidates draw from the same practices of neoliberalism that have unsustainably commercialized elections.
