Critical feminist perspectives on EU integration: New scales and frontiers?

Abstract

Feminist Political Economy (FPE) is an essential lens for understanding contemporary global governance - it provides a framework for crossing disciplinary boundaries and subject areas to better illuminate the key questions feminists are asking today. Through methodological approaches that are eclectic and diverse, including ethnographic observation, qualitative and interpretive analysis, and quantitative methods that answer feminist questions, FPE has shone light on many previously understudied or misunderstood questions. These diverse approaches enable feminists to work across scales ranging from everyday practices and provisioning to global governance and trade. However, there has been limited engagement between scholars of FPE and those of EU studies. This has created a gap in our understanding of the EU, and in the development of a broader feminist understanding of global economic governance. In a moment when the EU is facing multiple crises and transforming key aspects of its economic governance and budgetary policies, this panel showcases FPE scholarship on EU governance and policies and nurtures opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
