A Missing Piece? Men and the Puzzle of Gender Mainstreaming in the European Union
In its early uptake and sweeping application of gender mainstreaming, the European Union (EU) sits in the vanguard. However, bringing a gender perspective to bear on policy has proven a stubborn challenge. Drawing on Bacchi’s “What’s the Problem Represented to Be?” approach and her conceptualization of policies as gendering practices, I critically interrogate how men have been implicated in the problem of gender inequality via policy discourse in…
Feminist institutionalism
This chapter considers the contributions of feminist institutionalism (FI) to the study of gender and the European Union (EU). It outlines the premises and central concepts of both new institutionalism (NI) and of FI to highlight how feminist scholars have borrowed and built upon concepts they found insufficient to elucidate the gendered nature of the EU and its policies. The chapter provides specific examples of FI research to highlight some key…

Dirigism and Déjà Vu Logic
This article examines the transference of the European Union's equal opportunity directives to the new post-socialist accessor states, most especially to Bulgaria and Romania. Drawing upon 13 interviews in Bulgaria and 12 in Romania with local institutional stakeholders — e.g. trade union deputies, ministry officials — the article shows how politico-ideological differences have bred very different gender sensibilities across Europe, East and West…
Morality, biology and the free market
Compliance without commitment? The EU's gender equality agenda in the Central and East European states
Market Dreams
How have women experienced the transition from socialism to market economy in Eastern Europe? Drawing upon a rich collection of data from focus groups, interviews and textual sources, Market Dreams conveys the experiences of female managers and factory workers in the Czech Republic as the country moved from socialism to a market democracy. A clear and compelling account, rooted in rigorous sociological research and comparative feminism, Ellen Wei…
Market Dreams
Drawing on a rich trove of focus group data, interviews, and textual sources, Elaine Weiner's Market Dreams powerfully captures the varied responses of female managers and factory workers in the Czech Republic to their country's transition from socialism to capitalism. Her work, rooted in sociology and comparative feminism, is an important advance for the literature on women in Eastern Europe. "Market Dreams is a conceptually-sophisticated and em…
Development of Culture, Welfare States and Women’s Employment in Europe
No (Wo)Man's Land
Why did the “losers” of Eastern Europe's post-socialist market transition—most notably, workers and women— seemingly accept their economic marginalization rather than respond with massive social unrest? Prevailing explanations generally focus on the dissent-constraining nature of institutional and ideological legacies of the past. I argue that we should look beyond such legacies to consider the role of a “metanarrative” about the market in foster…
