Funding Empowerment: U.S. Foundations and Global Gender Equality
Although U.S. private foundations provide significant and varied kinds of support for women and girls globally, we know little about the scope of foundation giving or its effects. In what ways, we ask, has foundation funding attempted to promote the empowerment of women and girls? An important critique has emerged among scholars and practitioners that funding practices often undermine women's activism and movements. We study the empirical evidenc…
US Aid and gender equality: Social Movement vs Civil Society Models of Funding
Despite the fact that the assumed link between women’s empowerment, peace, and democratization has taken a firm hold in both theory and practice, the effectiveness of funding empowerment remains highly contested in the literature on gender, war, and democratic transformations. Drawing upon over a decade of fieldwork, this article offers lessons from the Balkans for funding women’s empowerment, with a particular focus on postconflict political tra…
Bounded altruism: Ingos’ opportunities and constraints during humanitarian crises and the US intervention in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo
International humanitarian nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) and government donors have grown increasingly close in the past two decades as they responded to conflict and post-conflict situations, with effects on each other that remain unclear. We advance a dynamic understanding of the opportunities and constraints that international NGOs (INGOs) experience in their relationship with the US government in conflict zones, arguing that shifts in …
Electoral breakthroughs in Croatia and Serbia: Women’s organizing and international assistance
This article investigates the role of women’s organizations and activists in the electoral breakthroughs in Serbia and Croatia in 2000. When, how, and to what effect, it asks, did women organize during transformational moments to promote their goals of political liberalization and gender equality? I argue that political opportunities—shaped by the domestic constellation of forces and international assistance programs—are essential to explaining p…
Leveraging Change: Women's Organizations and the Implementation of Unscr 1325 in the Balkans
This article examines how regional and local women's organizations in Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo have used UNSCR 1325 as a tool for organizing and advocacy in three broad areas: women's inclusion in decision-making processes; regional and human security; and transitional justice. In response to perceived unwillingness by international as well as national actors to implement UNSCR 1325, women's organizations developed strategies to use …
Boys Must be Boys: Gender and the Serbian Radical Party, 1991–2000
On 27 June 2004, Serbian voters went to the polls for the third time in a year to choose a president. The winner of the first two rounds of voting, Tomislav Nikolić, Deputy to the President of the extreme right Serbian Radical Party (SRS), lost the third round of voting to the more liberal Borisav Tadić by just under 8 percentage points (53.2 to 45.4), and the Radicals failed to form a ruling coalition in government. Nevertheless, more than five …
From Civil Society to Civil Servants: Women's Organizations and Critical Elections in Croatia
This work examines the role of women's organizations in the 2000 elections in Croatia in an effort to understand when and how they play a significant role in promoting democracy and, in particular, the election of female candidates. Croatia offers a crucial case for the study of gender and democratization because it challenges two significant generalizations from the comparative literature on postcommunist transitions: first, that women's organiz…

Negotiating Interests: Women and Nationalism in Serbia and Croatia, 1990-1997
Delija Štrbaja, 41 year old mother of two, was working in a sugar factory in the Vojvodinan town of Žabalj when the war with Croatia broke out in the summer of 1991. During the first two months of the conflict, Delija nervously awaited the moment when her husband, Zoran, would be called up to serve in the Yugoslav army. He too waited and spent many long hours with a friend who had fled Osijek, discussing the conflict and endlessly debating what s…
Ultranationalist Ideology and State-Building in Croatia, 1990–1996
Croatian political leaders have adopted a state-building agenda fundamentally at odds with the process of democratization. Their strategy is derived largely from traditional Croatian ultranationalism and is legitimized through appropriating the symbols of the extremist strand of the Croat national movement
