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 superb handbook provides us with cutting-edge chapters on European institutions and European integration by today?s leading gender politics scholars. Their feminist critical analysis of gender and European politics marks a high point in European studies. It will become a classic text, providing foundational contributions to teaching and research for many years to come."
Yvonne Galligan, Technological University Dublin, Ireland
"This handbook is a fantastic intervention into contemporary European studies delving into both the theory and practices of European integration using a gender lens. A one stop shop for all things gender and Europe, the editors have curated an extraordinary collection of contributions. At a time when there is a backlash against insights that centre gender perspectives within Europe and globally, this Handbook demonstrate the need for resistance."
Toni Haastrup, University of Stirling, UK
"The Routledge Handbook of Gender and EU Politics offers a significant, creative corrective to the his-torically biased nature of most grand narratives addressing the European Union?s development. Concentrating on core constructs and institutions, its contributors engage with "mainstream" literature as well as with gender scholarship, pinpointing topics for future research. One can only hope that "malestream" researchers will begin to follow their lead, to ensure a more complete, his- and her-storical picture of what makes the EU "tick" and where it needs to go from here."
Joyce Marie Mushaben, Georgetown University, USA
"At a time when gender equality policies are under attack and the European Union is self-destructing, this book is a crucial reminder of the historical importance of European integration to women?s rights in the region. This handbook is a must-read for students, researchers, journalists and practitioners. It examines politics in a broad sense, covering most fields of political science with openings towards history, law, political economy and sociology. It offers an up-to-date overview of gender politics and the EU, including timely issues such as austerity, Brexit and populism."
David Paternotte, Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium
"...By bringing different ontological perspectives on gender and the EU together, this handbook will help to ?gender mainstream? future EU scholarship..."
