Multilevel Governance, Equality and Human Rights
The creation of a ‘regional’ legislature for Wales in 1999 presents the opportunity to evaluate the promotion of equality and human rights in the context of multi-level governance in the UK. A decade on, positive aspects include the political reprioritisation of equalities in policy and law and new forms of representative and discursive politics. However, significant shortcomings are also evident. Overall, the Wales case study suggests that sub-u…
The Gendered Construction of Scientific Excellence
Academics sign up to the concept of promoting excellence in research by valuing ‘objectivity’, independence, theoretical frameworks and an evidence base, even while we might argue about meanings of these concepts and how they should be operationalized. We share a commitment to peer review, even though some may have concerns about invisible biases which may be built into some of the mechanisms we employ to conduct it. So, how do we explain the ext…
Mainstreaming Equality in the European Union
Reflections on the uneven development of gender mainstreaming in Europe
Gender mainstreaming was endorsed as the official policy approach to gender equality in the European Union and its member states in the Amsterdam Treaty (1997). New member states have been obliged to adopt a gender mainstreaming approach as a condition of joining the EU. However, despite this endorsement, there remains considerable confusion as to what gender mainstreaming is and there has been uneven development in the adoption of gender mainstr…
Mainstreaming Gender Equality in Science in the European Union
This article examines the position of women in science in academe in the European Union. It draws upon some of the data collected for the 'ETAN' (European Technology Assessment Network) report, Science Policies in the European Union: promoting excellence through mainstreaming gender equality, published recently by the European Commission. The data demonstrate how irrespective of discipline, proportion of female undergraduates in the discipline, a…

The learning region? Integrating gender equality into regional economic development
English Despite the growth in the literature on the ‘intelligent region’, relatively little attention has been paid to the issue of gender. This is surprising given the significance of gender to key elements of the intelligent region concept, and considering the current policy of the European Commission to mainstream gender equality. This article examines the economic, social and political imperatives for mainstreaming. It then explores the impli…

Social exclusion and equal opportunities
This paper examines the concept of social exclusion as articulated in the three recent European Commission White Papers on economic, social and teaching and learning policy. Between them, these papers set the framework for the development of policies for the European Union from now until well into the next millenium. How is ‘social exclusion’ conceptualized? How does the concept differ from earlier formulations of disadvantage such as poverty and…

Our Sister's Land
Feminising the Mainstream
Gender segregation remains a remarkably persistent feature of the workforce in all member states of the European Union (EU), regardless of variations in rates of female economic activity, the growth of equality legislation and changing values prompted by notions of social justice. However, the argument that such patterns of segregation, in particular the clustering of women in low skilled, low paid work, represents a waste of human resources has …
Feminism Confronts Technology
Feminism confronts technology' provides a lively and engaging exploration of the impact of technology on women's lives from word processors to food processors, and genetic engineering to the design of cities. Comprehensive and critical, this book surveys the sociological and feminist literature on technology, highlighting the male bias in the way technology is defined as well as developed. Wajcman sets the scene with an overview of feminist theor…
All Those in Favour
The computerisation of membership lists offers considerable scope for postal surveys of trade unionists. However, faith in the new technology can give rise to the illusion of increased accuracy. Yet, the computerised data bases, while undoubtedly quicker and easier to use, may be no more accurate than their manual predecessors and samples drawn from them can result in misleading response rates. Therefore, with reference to a specific case study o…

Evaluating a women's careers convention
This paper reports an evaluation of a careers convention for women, designed to widen their occupational horizons. The convention was held in Wales in 1987, and evaluated the same year. Data are provided on how 500 schoolgirls reacted to the event and how they plan to spend their own futures. The findings are shown to be relevant to anyone attempting to improve careers education, challenge sex stereotyping in education, or run similar conventions…
Education for enterprise
The state, industry and the voluntary sector are all investing resources in encouraging the development of the ‘enterprise culture’ among the young unemployed. Such measures can be interpreted as an attempt to sustain the work ethic while changing attitudes, aspirations and expectations towards employment. They constitute a major effort to change work cultures. The alternatives being advocated, such as self‐employment, small businesses, co‐operat…
Population and industrial decline in the South Wales Coalfield
Rees T. L. (1978) Population and industrial decline in the South Wales Coalfield. Reg. Studies 12, 69–77. The South Wales Coalfield has undergone major changes since the mid forties both in terms of its economic structure and population base. The decline of the two dominant industries, steel and coal has produced large scale unemployment. At the same time the area has experienced annual net migration losses in recent years. This paper attempts to…
