Inhalt: Das Kaskadenmodell, gerade in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern eingeführt, soll Chancengleichheit fördern. Doch streng genommen ist es eine Benachteilung für Frauen, meinen unsere Gastautoren.

Inhalt: What is grey literature? It is literature produced by non-commercial publishers, such as public institutions, universities, research institutes and civil society. It contains a lot of useful content, but is often hard to find as it is scattered across different locations. EIGE has collected grey literature on gender equality and you can access our collection through a simple search interface. EIGE's collection of grey literature is available in several EU languages and documents come from all EU Member States. EIGE's library hosts one of the largest collections on gender-related literature related to research. The collection presents good practices of current policies throughout Europe as well as gender indicators aimed at assessing gender equality in research. Several resources focus on the ways in which the EU has mainstreamed gender into policy processes for research. You will also find research reports and statistical documents providing data on key gender issues related to research.

Policy evaluation and gender mainstreaming in the European Union: the perfect (mis)match?
Autor/in:
Minto, Rachel; Mergaert, Lut; Bustelo, María
Quelle: European Journal of Politics and Gender, (2020)
Inhalt: This article assesses the ability of the European Commission’s current approach to policy evaluation to evaluate gender mainstreaming and, in turn, other cross-cutting social agendas (Articles 8–10 TFEU). Taking European Union research policy as a case study, through our analysis, we reveal mismatches between current evaluation standards adopted within the Better Regulation framework and requirements for effectively assessing progress towards cross-cutting social objectives, such as gender equality. The article concludes with a series of recommendations to overcome the identified shortcomings. Our analysis constitutes a key contribution to the development of feminist scholarship on the post-implementation phase of the policy process.

Feminist framing of Europeanisation : Gender equality policies in Turkey and the EU
Herausgeber/in:
Süleymanoǧlu-Kürüm, Rahime; Cin, F. Melis
Quelle: Cham, Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan (Gender and Politics), 2020. 288 S
Inhalt: This book explores the Europeanisation of gender policies and addresses some of the challenges of the debates surrounding the EU's impact on domestic politics. Using Turkey as a case study, it illustrates that Europeanisation needs a feminist agenda and perspective. The first part of the book critically engages with the literature on Europeanisation, the EU's gender policies and gender policymaking, and the interaction between Europeanisation and gender policies to argue that the Europeanisation framework falls short in devising sustainable gender policies due to a lack of feminist rationale and theory.

Disciplined discourses: The logic of appropriateness in discourses on organizational gender equality policies

Inhalt: Organizational gender equality policies must address critical issues in organizations, as well as challenge hierarchies and the unequal distribution of power and resources. At the same time, they are reliant on acceptance by organizations when developing an official course of action. On the basis of a neo‐institutional perspective, this study investigates how gender equality discourses are disciplined so that they fit organizational expectations by maintaining the rationality myth of the organization. The empirical analysis of four Swiss organizations demonstrates that, although they intend to reduce gender inequalities, their gender equality policies are shaped by a logic of appropriateness that leads to a continuous reproduction of heteronormativity within gender equality policies. This study thus contributes to the understanding of how the logic of appropriateness protects the heteronormative matrix in organizations by disciplining gender equality discourses.

Inhalt: Experiences from individualized gender equality funding programs, as the ones used in Denmark, demonstrate that one‐off policy interventions, although a small step in the right direction, cannot stand alone in the fight against gender imbalances in academia. Closing the gender gap is a complex, multi‐level undertaking that needs constant rethinking of policies and the dedication of adequate financial resources. The need of rethinking policy is in particular urgent during Covid‐19, which has further amplified imbalances due to a drop in the productivity of women researchers. Funding bodies should therefore reconsider traditional approaches heavily rewarding publications in the distribution of research funds. They ought to respond to the gendered impact of the pandemic by engaging institutions in structural and cultural change, setting up requirements for institutions to have achieved a certain level of gender equality outcomes, and thus link institutional progress to research funding.
