Gender and Governance: democratisation and new forms of participation

Abstract

This panel is based on the current inquiry of participants in the Research Network on Gender and the State, including Birgit Sauer and Melissa Haussman, co-directors of the 'hot issue network' and co-editors of this project’s forthcoming book, Gendering the State in the Age of Globalization. The panel examines strategies used by women’s movement organizations and policy agencies in the EU and North America to publicly frame national debates over globalization-linked policies. Often these policies may be called 'neoliberal' in shape, denoting a decrease in government support for social policies, although curiously at times these policies may include an increased governmental role in new areas.
