Making Gender Equality Happen
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-99873-5 (ISBN)
Making Gender Equality Happen argues that we should take this problem seriously. In this book Cavaghan uncovers the social processes that make gender appear irrelevant to so many policy makers using a new method, gender knowledge contestation analysis. Building on this new perspective Cavaghan identifies:
barriers to effective gender mainstreaming;
mechanisms of resistance to gender mainstreaming; and
the steps towards positive change, which gender mainstreaming can yield, even when results stop short of ‘transformation’.
These findings present fresh perspectives for policy makers and activists aiming to make gender equality happen. Cavaghan’s new method also opens fresh avenues in feminist EU studies, which are particularly relevant in the wake of the financial crisis, as the EU seems to be stepping away from its commitments to gender equality.
Rosalind Cavaghan is a postdoctoral fellow at Glasgow Caledonian University. Her research combines the broad themes of European governance, public policy/global political economy and gender. She completed her PhD in Edinburgh, where she worked as a policy consultant, prior to commencing academic research.
