Gender quotas are a controversial policy measure. However, over the
past twenty years they have been widely adopted around the world
and especially in Europe. They are now used in politics, corporate
boards, state and local public administration and even in civil
society organizations. This book explores this unprecedented
phenomenon, providing a unique comparative perspective on gender
quotas' adoption across thirteen European countries. It also
studies resistance to gender quotas by political parties and
supreme courts. Providing up-to-date comprehensive data on gender
quotas regulations, Transforming Gender Citizenship proposes a
typology of countries, from those which have embraced gender quotas
as a new way to promote gender equality in all spheres of social
life, to those who have consistently refused gender quotas as a
tool for gender equality. Reflecting on divergences and
commonalities across Europe, the authors analyze how gender quotas
may transform dominant conception of citizenship and gender
equality.
