Gender Politics and Post-Communism
The essays about womens status in Eastern European countries and some independent states of the former USSR focuses on the post-communist era and gender politics. Social and economic changes in these countries reflect quite different experiences from Western notions and are shaped by philosophical cultural as well as political and economic contexts. The Eastern and Central European changes are all encompassing and are directed to specific issues …
Gender Politics and Post-Communism
A spectre in Germany
The German state permitted about one million refugees to enter Germany in 2015–2016, although many were subsequently denied refugee status. Germany adopted an ‘integration’ and ‘welcome’ politics, an important, if imperfect, model for a European refugee policy. The integration of refugees required the joint activity of state, of civil society, of the public sphere and of refugees themselves. Civil society initiated a vast amount of essential care…
What We Do and Do Not Learn from Thomas Piketty
(K)not so
A very tangled knot
This article discusses some current research claims on gender and state socialism in Eastern Europe from 1945 to 1989. It raises questions about claims by Revisionist Feminist Scholars that official state socialist women’s organizations were ‘agents’ on behalf of women, or women’s movements, perhaps feminist, and not ‘transmission belts’ of communist parties. State socialist policies are described as ‘friendly towards women’ and ‘pro-women’. In c…
Contra Fraser on Feminism and Neoliberalism
This article is a critical examination of Nancy Fraser's contrast of early second-wave feminism and contemporary global feminism in "Feminism, Capitalism and the Cunning of History," (Fraser 2009). Fraser contrasts emancipatory early second-wave feminism, strongly critical of capitalism, with feminism in the age of neoliberalism as being in a "dangerous liaison" with neoliberalism. I argue that Fraser's historical account of 1970s mainstream seco…

Dossier on Women in Eastern Europe
In the following three interviews made from April-August, 1990 we discuss the impact of recent political changes in Eastern Europe on women, and the political organizations women have formed to confront these problems. Tatiana Bohm and Ines Koenen are both from the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) and were both in the Round Table of November, 1989-March, 1990, which was the effective decision-making body formed after the uprising in Fall, …

Habermas and the Social Goods
In this article I will address the question of the place of communitarian goods in Habermas' social vision. Habermas' social theory in many ways represents an advance over other theories on the left in its attention to democratic structure, ethical theory and law. It is the best argued contemporary account on the left of a social and political vision in which democracy holds center stage. The tenacity of the argument is matched by its depth and b…
