Pathways to Leadership: Women’s Careers in the European Union
Revisiting the political opposition of the European Parliament: A rhetorical analysis of parliamentary speeches
This article critically revisits Peter Mair’s famous 2007 analysis of the European Parliament’s (EP) weak political opposition, examining the extent to which the Parliament serves as an arena for inter- and intra-institutional opposition in EU politics, with a specific focus on the symbolic signaling of opposition. Distinguishing between three different types of political opposition (collective, ‘majority-minority,’ ‘pro-/anti-European’), the pap…

Women Leading the Opposition: Gender and Rhetoric in the European Parliament
The European Parliament (EP) is an intriguing arena to study the nexus between gender, speech-making, and leadership performance, as it simultaneously challenges and confirms gender-based hierarchies in legislative contexts. While the EP has a higher level of women’s representation than national parliaments, women’s access to top-level positions nonetheless remains limited. Yet the EP is a special case of a legislature. Lacking a right of initiat…
Women Opposition Leaders: Conceptual Issues and Empirical Agendas
This thematic issue provides the first comprehensive overview of women opposition leaders and their performance. Setting the stage for a new research agenda, this editorial piece integrates theoretical and empirical insights at the intersection of three distinct research areas: political opposition, political leadership, and gender and politics. It discusses various notions of opposition leaders and identifies three main lines of inquiry: (a) car…
Between Uniformity and Polarization: Women’s Empowerment in the Public Press of GCC States
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states have increased their promotion of women in public life. The expansion of women's rights in these states functions as a central policy tool to stimulate modernization processes. This article investigates how the Gulf governments steer women's empowerment through the press. Regulated by the state, media outlets in GCC countries primarily serve to affirm and amplify the legitimacy of the government. Focusing…
Collaborative leadership in EMU governance: A Matter of Cognitive Proximity
Collaborative leadership has stood at the heart of European politics since its inception. Yet EU scholars have only recently started to examine the concept and mainly from an institutional perspective. This article conceptualises the phenomenon of collaborative leadership from an actor-centered perspective. It explores a central condition for successful collaborative leadership identified in the literature: the existence of shared beliefs among t…
The Politics of Women Empowerment: Female Leaders in the UAE
In recent decades, the governments of Gulf Cooperation Council ( GCC ) states, especially the United Arab Emirates ( UAE ), have substantially increased their promotion of women in public life, with more women obtaining senior positions in an array of social domains. Despite these efforts, women’s leadership in the public sphere of GCC states still lags behind what has been achieved in other parts of the world. Focusing on the UAE , this article …
The contested nature of political leadership in the European Union: Conceptual and Methodological Cross-Fertilisation
European leaders have struggled to find common responses to the polycrisis the EU is facing. This crisis of leadership makes it urgent that scholars provide a better understanding of the role and impact of leadership in EU politics and policy making. This article prepares the ground for a collection of contributions that addresses this need by strengthening old and building new bridges between the academic domains of European studies and leadersh…
Setting Europe’s agenda: The Commission presidents and political leadership
Since the presidents of the European Commission are not vested with direct decision-making power at the EU level, influencing and shaping Europe’s agenda through agenda-setting is one of the president’s primary political opportunities for exhibiting political leadership. Although scholars concluded that Jacques Delors was a ‘consistently effective policy strategist’ with a hands-on and coherent approach, his strategic agenda-setting has yet hardl…
Between Potential, Performance and Prospect: Revisiting the Political Leadership of the EU Commission President
This contribution argues that although the latest EU treaties formalized the Commission presidency to substantial degree, it remains a constitutionally weak office for the provision of political leadership. The capacity to lead thus still strongly depends on the individual incumbent. As a first step, the article examines the legal-procedural structure of the office before and after the Lisbon Treaty came into force. Secondly, it analyzes the poli…
