Abstract

This panel seeks to delve into the intricate dynamics surrounding anti-gender politics and their impact on political landscapes, with a particular focus on the interactions between anti-gender movements and civil society actors on the one hand, and political parties and institutional actors on the other. The evolution of these dynamics prompts a critical examination of how this convergence contributes to the mainstreaming of exclusionary politics. Additionally, the panel aims to provide new insights into how anti-gender dynamics shape political discourses and competition within the right side of the political spectrum, the social bases of those supporting anti-gender political initiatives, state and civil society actors’ alliances in norm production, as well as both parliamentary and non-parliamentary avenues for feminist resistance. By examining the outcomes of these interactions, the panel seeks to elucidate the political and policy consequences arising from the interplay between anti-gender movements and established political structures.
