The new Europe
Citizenship in an Enlarging Europe
This article explores some of the debates surrounding the gendered impact of both the democratisation process and European Union enlargement on the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. It focuses on three key issues of gender-equitable citizenship: debates about the best mechanisms for achieving gender equality in mainstream politics; questions about the efficacy of civil society activism in relation to mainstream politics; and the pros and c…
Gender and Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe
In the immediate aftermath of the fall of state socialism in Eastern and Central Europe, many western observers eagerly awaited the justification of the liberal democratic/capitalist model in the emerging social and political environments. The concept of "civil society', idealized by both western and eastern European political theory, was central to the discourse of transformation, and the voices of hitherto marginalized and repressed peoples wer…
Gender and Citizenship in the Context of Democratisation and Economic Transformation in East Central Europe
International Perspectives on Gender and Democratization brings together the experience of women's democratic movements in different countries and regions, North and South, and assesses how different discourses of democracy have been used by women's groups to assert women's rights. Sensitive to particular histories, ideologies, and cultural contexts, the contributors assess the strengths and the problems facing women's democratic movements as the…

Citizenship and Democratic Control in Contemporary Europe
This text argues that a democratically reconstructed Europe requires a new approach centred around a concept of citizenship which is neither individualistic or ethnically based, but is concerned with the empowerment of individuals. The authors propose the development of a well-structured and pluralistic civic society which encourages active citizenship and a definition of democratic citizenship which can be related to different types and levels o…

Gender Politics and Post-Communism
Women and Market Societies
Women and Market Societies explores the problems and possibilities for women which arise from the transition to a market economy in East Asia, the dismantling of state socialism in Eastern Europe and the restructuring of the economies and welfare states
Feminism in Crisis
Cinderella Goes to Market
With the collapse of state socialism, women in Eastern and Central Europe are now faced with more than the double burden of paid and domestic labor. Soaring unemployment is driving women out of the workplace, and nationalist ideologues are urging them to reassume their “primary responsibility”—to produce babies for the nation. Lack of childcare and attacks upon abortion rights are narrowing choices. Can these issues provide the catalyst for trans…

Where Have All the Women Gone? Women and the Women's Movement in East Central Europe
Where have all the women gone? This may seem a frivolous question: they haven't evaporated after all. But what has evaporated, it seems, along with the euphoria and the optimism, the hopes and dreams of a year ago, is the energy and potential for change on the part of women themselves. Gone too are both the much-vaunted economic independence and the resultant self-confidence of forty years of official commitment to a policy of'emancipation' for w…
Law and Marxism
This is classic Marxist study first published in 1924 - one of the principal Soviet contributions to jurisprudence theory. It is an authoritative non-revisionist text offering both commentary and critique of prevailing Marxist and non-Marxist legal theory. Pashukanis states that juridical and state forms are linked to specific type of class society - capitalist society. However, law comes not from the rule of the capitalist class but from the rel…
Socialist Emancipation
Synopsis —The paper attempts to evaluate the role of the DFD (Women's Democratic League of Germany—the official and only women's organization in the G.D.R.) within the general context of the situation of women in the G.D.R. It therefore discusses the DFD's historical contribution to legislation and social measures in favour of women, the theoretical framework in which this occurred, and the somewhat paradoxical nature of the DFD's current role. E…
