'Bridging European and gender studies, this volume deserves a great
welcome to the literature. It not only offers a feminist reading of
Europeanisation in general, but also discusses the process of
Europeanisation and de-Europeanisation of Turkey with regard to
changes in gender policy. The book demonstrates that the EU is the
leading body to advocate gender equality, and also proves that it
is a firm gender actor compared to other international
organisations. However, as the volume also shows, the EU is not yet
a normative gender actor due to the absence of a feminist rationale
in promoting gender equality abroad. The contributions offer
significant insights into EU-Turkey relations from a gender studies
perspective.' Ayhan Kaya, Professor of Politics and Jean Monnet
Chair for European Politics of Interculturalism, Istanbul Bilgi
University, Turkey 'Su leymanoglu-Ku ru m and Cin have curated a
timely volume that applies a feminist lens to the well-known
Europeanisation framework. Using the case of Turkey, the book
extends the focus of European studies scholarship that analyses the
adaptation of non-member states to EU policies and practices to
setting a new feminist agenda in the adaptation to the EU. Beyond
the new insights offered on the Turkish case study, the volume
provides a powerful critique, and highlights the limits of the EU's
reach outside of its current border.' Toni Haastrup, Senior
Lecturer in International Politics, University of Stirling, UK
'This pioneering volume, which extends feminist perspectives to the
study of EU toward candidate countries, is a must-read for scholars
of EU integration and gender studies.' Bahar Rumelili, Professor
and Jean Monnet Chair at the Department of International Relations,
Koc University, Turkey This book explores the Europeanisation of
gender policies and addresses some of the challenges of the debates
surrounding the EU's impact on domestic politics. Using Turkey as a
case study, it illustrates that Europeanisation needs a feminist
agenda and perspective. The first part of the book critically
engages with the literature on Europeanisation, the EU's gender
policies and gender policymaking, and the interaction between
Europeanisation and gender policies to argue that the
Europeanisation framework falls short in devising sustainable
gender policies due to a lack of feminist rationale and theory.
Subsequently, the book develops a feminist framework of
Europeanisation by drawing on the work of key feminist philosophers
(Carole Pateman, Onora O'Neill, Nancy Fraser, Anne Phillips, Iris
Young) and uses this framework to offer a critique of the
Europeanisation of gender policies in various areas where the EU
has prompted changes to domestic policies, including in civil
society, political representation, private sector, violence against
women, education, and asylum policy.
