What are the factors that shape domestic violence policy change and
how are variable gendered meanings produced in these policies? How
and when can feminists influence policy making? What conditions and
policy mechanisms lead to progressive change and which ones block
it or lead to reversal? The Gender Politics of Domestic Violence
analyzes the emergence of gender equality sensitive domestic
violence policy reforms in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
Tracing policy developments in Eastern Europe from the beginning of
2000s, when domestic violence first emerged on policy agendas,
until 2015, Andrea Krizsan and Conny Roggeband look into the
contestation that takes place between women's movements, states and
actors opposing gender equality to explain the differences in
gender equality sensitive policy outputs across the region. They
point to regionally specific patterns of feminist engagement with
the state in which coalition-building between women's organizations
and establishing alliances with different state actors were
critical for achieving gendered policy progress. In addition, they
demonstrate how discursive contexts shaped by democratization
frames and opposition to gender equality, led to differences in the
politicization of gender equality, making gender friendly reforms
more feasible in some countries than others.
This Handbook maps the expanding field of gender and EU politics,
giving an overview of the fundamentals and new directions of the
sub- discipline, and serving as a reference book for (gender)
scholars and students at different levels interested in the EU. In
investigating the gendered nature of European integration and
gender relations in the EU as a political system, it summarizes and
assesses the research on gender and the EU to this point in time,
identifies existing research gaps in gender and EU studies and
addresses directions for future research. Distinguished
contributors from the US, the UK and continental Europe, and from
across disciplines from political science, sociology, economics and
law, expertly inform about gender approaches and summarize the
state of the art in gender and EU studies. The Routledge Handbook
of Gender and EU Politics provides an essential and authoritative
source of information for students, scholars and researchers in EU
studies/ politics, gender studies/ politics, political theory,
comparative politics, international relations, political and gender
sociology, political economy, European and legal studies/ law.
This book examines opposition to the Council of Europe's Istanbul
Convention and its consequences for the politics of violence
against women in four countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
Krizsan and Roggeband discuss why and how successful anti-gender
mobilizations managed to obstruct ratification of the Convention or
push for withdrawal from it. They show how resistance to the
Convention significantly redraws debates on violence against women
and has consequences for policies, women's rights advocacy, and
gender-equal democracy.
