The changing nature of European equality regimes
This paper maps the changing nature of European equality regimes in order to establish the extent of variation or convergence across Europe and to evaluate the role of transnational policy paradigms and state-level institutions in shaping the emerging European equality regimes. We identify two significant tendencies in respect to European equality institutional regimes. First, a growing complexity in the institutional arrangements designed to add…
Equality and Universalism
This article examines the normative and theoretical contents of the concept of equality. It considers some of the feminist debates on equality as cultural “recognition,” political “representation,” sameness and difference, and socioeconomic “redistribution.” The article also identifies the risks of the arrival of the concept of multiple equality strands and intersectionality. Finally, it takes a look at the shift toward diverse groups and multipl…
Institutionalizing Intersectionality
This collection focuses on the politics of multiple inequalities in Europe. It does so from the perspective of prior gender equality policy. It aims to evaluate the ways in which multiple inequalities are being addressed institutionally in Europe, and to identify the changing patterns of institutionalization. Using country-based and region-specific case studies the collection offers a comparative analysis of the multidimensional equality regimes …
Institutionalizing Intersectionality in the ‘Big Three’
This chapter evaluates the ways in which the legal and normative demands of multiple equality strands are being addressed institutionally in the so-called big three countries of Western Europe. It deploys comparative analyses of current state-level reforms in the different types of institutions designed to implement equality policies in France, Germany, and Britain. The chapter documents the ‘policy legacy’ in the domain of equality found in each…
Institutionalizing Intersectionality
An exploration of the ways that multiple inequalities are being addressed in Europe. Using country-based and region-specific case studies it provides an innovative comparative analysis of the multidim
Addressing the ‘Dismal Disconnection
This article engages with recent methodological debates in political theory concerning the role of political theory and in particular the criticism that ideal normative theorising is too abstracted from the real-world circumstances that it hopes to change. These debates raise questions concerning the proper relationship between normative political theory and empirical inquiry. We suggest that feminist research has an important contribution to mak…
From state feminism to market feminism
This article argues that the concept of ‘state feminism’ no longer adequately captures the complexity of emerging feminist engagements with new forms of governance. It suggests that ‘market feminism’ offers a new conceptual framework from which feminist engagements with the state can be analysed and evaluated, and the changes within state feminism can be understood. The article documents the growing feminist embrace of the logic of the market, wh…
The New Politics of Equality
Beyond Multiple Inequalities
This article suggests that greater recognition of intersectional discrimination, understood as qualitatively distinct from the sum of its discriminatory parts, requires the adoption of a transversal rather than an additive approach to intersectionality and of mainstreaming tools in addition to anti-discrimination measures alone. In addition, it suggests that a participative-democratic form of mainstreaming offers the best resources for realising …
Reviving multiculturalism, reviewing representation
This article is a review of Multiculturalism without culture by Anne Phillips. Phillips' book defends a non-corporatist version of multiculturalism which rejects essentialized conceptions of culture and grounds the challenge to the under-representation of minority groups in the rights and needs of individuals not groups. However, reading this in the light of Phillips' other work raises questions over the necessity of invoking a notion of culture …
Equality and Difference
This article examines the contemporary debate concerning the issues of equality and difference. It suggests that equality now appears, in both policy and theory debates, to require a respect for difference rather than a search for similarities. It argues that equality is increasingly theorized as an issue of maldistribution, oppression, and domination. It explains that while liberal egalitarianism focuses primarily on maldistribution, and a polit…
Intersecting Inequalities
Britain has recently undergone significant change in relation to its equality laws and institutions. This paper documents these changes and evaluates the extent to which the reforms facilitate the recognition of ‘intersectionality’. It concludes that the creation of a single equality body and the move to streamline legislation into one bill may do more to highlight conflicts between different equality categories than to address cumulative and com…
Gender Quotas and Models of Political Citizenship
Gender quotas have spread rapidly around the world in recent years. However, few studies have yet theorized, systematically or comparatively, variations in their features, adoption and implementation. This article surveys quota campaigns in Western Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. It proposes that one or more sets of controversies influence the course and outcomes of quota reforms. These revolve around (1) competing principles of…
Diversity mainstreaming
Dans les dernières années, le mainstreaming a émergé comme un mécanisme central pour introduire une perspective selon le genre dans tous les domaines politiques. Il suscite un débat chez les féministes pour savoir si véritablement on peut le considérer comme une avancée pour l’égalité des sexes. Cependant, pour celles qui soulignent plutôt les mérites du gender mainstreaming , l’ouverture de ce mécanisme à la diversité constitue un nouveau défi. …
Multiculturalism, Multiple Groups and Inequalities
Deliberation, Domination and Decision-making
Intersecting Inequalities
The creation of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) brings together equality strands that have previously been conceived in a discrete manner, politically, legally and institutionally. Its establishment raises the possibility that UK equality institutions might be better able to engage with issues of ‘intersectionality’. This article considers whether this potential is likely to be realised. It suggests that two distinct approaches ar…
The Constitutive Representation of Gender
This paper extends the focus of research on representation within the women and politics literature in two ways: firstly, by introducing the notion of 'the constitutive representation of gender' to complement the notion of the substantive representation of women, as a distinct facet of the representative process; and secondly, by extending the spheres of representative practices under consideration to include not only the parliamentary but also t…
The New Politics of Gender Equality
Negotiating Equality and Diversity in Britain
This paper interrogates the promotion of diversity in relation to contemporary developments within Britain, considering whether the increasingly common public affirmation of 'equality and diversity' signals the emergence of British citizenship practices based on a vision of 'differentiated universalism'. I explore this question in relation to the recent UK Equality Review and the proposed creation of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, …
Contesting Citizenship
The pursuit of equal citizenship has been complicated by two recent developments: the emergence of multi‐level governance (and with it the growing importance of local, regional and global levels of citizenship practices) and the emergence of group recognition claims (which signal the growing importance of particularised experiences and multiple inequality agendas). These developments shape the way citizenship is both practiced and analysed. Mappi…
Beyond Being Marginal
In this introduction, we situate ‘gender and international relations in Britain’. We discuss our understandings of gender, I/international R/relations and GIR. In the second section we discuss the relationship of feminist to gendered IR, arguing that while intimately related, they are nonetheless not synonymous. We turn in the third section to a critical discussion of feminist IR's tendency to see itself as marginal to mainstream IR, a move that …
The Challenge of Diversity
Britain's use of state agencies to address gender relations has evolved significantly over the past 30 years and is currently entering a new phase, characterized by a commitment to a generic equalities, or “diversity,” approach in which multiple equality strands are to be addressed via a single equalities body, the Commission for Equality and Human Rights (CEHR). The CEHR will replace three existing equality commissions that focus on gender, race…

Discourses Surrounding Prostitution Policies in the UK
This article examines discourses invoked in the UK debates about prostitution and trafficking in women. The authors suggest that there are three striking features about these discourses: (1) the absence of the sex work discourse, (2) the dominance of the public nuisance discourse in relation to kerb-crawling and (3) the dominance of moral order discourses in relation to trafficking. At a time when the UK is about to revise its sex laws, it is imp…

New Labour, Gender Mainstreaming and the Women and Equality Unit
New Labour's approach to gender mainstreaming is perhaps best exemplified through the work of the Women and Equality Unit (WEU). In this article we chart the development of the Unit and varied initiatives in which it has been involved and provide a preliminary assessment of the Unit's work. We start with a discussion of Labour's approach to mainstreaming. This provides a context for a profile of the work of the Women's Unit (WU) between 1997 and …
Private Lives, Secluded Places
The theoretical writings that underpin contemporary liberal democracies have all, in varying form, stressed the value of privacy as fundamental to the realisation of a civilised society, Yet it is ever more evident that privacy is now so threatened as to be practically lost to us already. Unless we turn our attention to the task of rethinking the nature of our concern for privacy, and to the possibilities of its realisation and preservation, we m…

Cultural Remix
What have black hair-styles got to do with politics? Does sex have a history? What effect has the Walkman had on how we listen to music? What have Margaret Thatcher and Ruth Ellis got in common? This book shows how key debates of the 1980s and 90s have shaped the agenda of cultural politics in the day-to-day consumption and production of popular culture. The essays illustrate how ideas of cultural theory, ways of reading the popular and the polit…

Representing groups, deconstructing identities
This article explores feminist arguments for group representation and suggests that there are three distinct theoretical frameworks on which these arguments are based: an equality perspective leading to a strategy of inclusion, a difference perspective leading to a strategy of reversal and a diversity perspective leading to a strategy of displacement. I focus in particular on the defence of group representation developed by Iris Marion Young, bec…

Symposium
It is now widely acknowledged that women are under-represented politically a round the world, and that this under-representation is problematic. Women constitute 15 per cent of the members of parliaments globally, ranging from 48.8 per cent in Rwanda and 45.3 in Sweden to none in Bahrain and Kuwait. This under-representation is thought to matter by different people for different reasons. The most frequently articulated reasons within the gender p…

Troubled Pleasures
Dimensions of Radical Democracy
In a Different Voice
Over the past ten years, I have been listening to people talking about morality and about themselves. Halfway through that time, I began to hear a distinction in these voices. two ways of speaking about moral problems, two modes of describing the relationship between ocher and self. Differences repressed in the psychological literature as steps in a developmental progression suddenly appeared instead as a contrapuntal theme, women imp the cycle o…

Feminisms
`A feminist is a woman who does not allow anyone to think in her place.’ Michele Le Doeuff Spanning nearly two decades (1980-1996), the six sections of this reader investigate the debates which have most characterized feminist theory to date. Including articles such as ‘Pornography and Fantasy’, ‘The Body and Cinema’, ‘Nature as Female’, and ‘A Manifesto for Cyborgs’, the extracts in Feminisms explore thoughts on sexuality as a domain of explorat…
The Politics of Postmodernity
In his study Modernity and the Holocaust, Zygmunt Bauman contrasts the hopes and expectations of the modernising world of the nineteenth century with the real outcomes of the twentieth century, where the very conditions of modernity have led to the mass destruction of humanity and of those early hopes for the betterment of humankind. This volume explores the possibilities left to those once modernising societies, not only in terms of the worlds t…

Terms of Inclusion
Questions concerning whether and how cultural groups should be recognised in politics are among the most salient and vexing on the political agenda of many democratic and democratising societies today. (Gutmann, 1994: 5) This chapter examines the interplay between the concepts of ethnicity and nation with those of citizenship and ‘cultural difference’ within contemporary political theory. Despite the epistemological and ontological variance manif…

Democracy as flawed hegemon
Ethnicity, Nationalism, and Minority Rights
This interdisciplinary collection addresses the position of minorities in democratic societies, with a particular focus on minority rights and recognition. For the first time, it brings together leading international authorities on ethnicity, nationalism and minority rights from both social and political theory, with the specific aim of fostering further debate between the disciplines. In their introduction, the editors explore the ways in which …
Symposium
When Carole Pateman influentially mapped the development of feminist political theory in the late 1980s, she suggested that it starts with feminist interpretations of the classic texts, moves on to extend the range of questions asked, and culminates in a distinctive feminist theory (Pateman, 1989: 2). Others suggested that it was more helpful to see these as ideological perspectives rather than chronological stages: as Sandra Whitworth (1994: 75-…
