Inhalt: Extreme Formen der Ungleichheit sind für einen Sozialstaat problematisch, da sie den inneren Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaft schwächen. Sozialstaatliches Handeln zielt auf Gerechtigkeit. Welches Konzept von Gerechtigkeit jedoch zugrunde liegt und wie weit das Ausmaß staatlicher Tätigkeit reichen soll bzw. darf, sind zentrale Fragen und Streitpunkte der aktuellen Sozialstaatsdebatte. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die sozialstaatliche Entwicklung unter einer Geschlechterperspektive betrachtet. Es geht um Gerechtigkeitsfragen in Hinblick auf die Geschlechterordnung des Sozialstaats. Determinanten einer (Geschlechter-) Gerechtigkeit sind Chancengleichheit im Zugang zu begehrten sozialen Positionen (auch Status), wirtschaftliche Gerechtigkeit, d. h. Teilhabe am gemeinschaftlich erzeugten Wohlstand unabhängig von der Geschlechtszugehörigkeit und schließlich gleiche politische Partizipationsgelegenheiten von Frauen und Männern. In einem ersten Schritt werden anhand empirischer Daten die Geschlechterverhältnisse in Deutschland im Vergleich zu den anderen Mitgliedstaaten der EU behandelt. In einem zweiten Schritt geht es um die Geschlechterleitbilder als "Baupläne" der behandelten Wohlfahrtsstaaten und in einem dritten Schritt wird schließlich gefragt, ob die EU-Politik ein bestimmtes Geschlechterarrangement enthält bzw. anvisiert.

Inhalt: "The 'Encouragement to Advance' project was concurrently both quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated with the aim of ensuring quality as well as for substantiating how it was conducted. The author gives a detailed presentation and interpretation of the evaluation design, method and quantitative results. One of the positive results was that approximately 90% of the participants stated that they would recommend seminars of this kind to female colleagues in similar situations. Continuation and further development of the seminar concept while tailoring it to the appointment procedures in more EU countries could have positive effects on greater participation of women scientists in the European research landscape and for realizing the goals of the Lisbon Treaty."

Inhalt: Die Verfasser untersuchen die einzelnen Entwicklungsphasen der Gleichstellungspolitik in der EU. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass die einzelnen Phasen unterschiedliche Konzepte der Gleichstellung verkörpern. Während am Anfang der Europäischen Integration die Gleichstellung als gleiche Behandlung und Diskriminierungsverbot gedeutet wurde, werden in den späteren Phasen zunehmend Regelungen mit Blick auf die familienfreundliche Gestaltung der Arbeitsbedingungen und auf die Gewährleistung der Partizipation von Frauen am öffentlichen Leben institutionalisiert. In diesem Kontext werden die normativen Grundlagen der Gleichstellung von Geschlechtern und die Praxis der Geschlechterpolitik in der EU analysiert. Ein Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bezieht sich auf den Schutz der Frauen vor Gewalt. Abschließend werden die Probleme des Diversitätsmanagements aus der Perspektive der Gleichstellung der Geschlechter zur Diskussion gestellt. (ICF)

From formal adoption to enforcement : post-accession shifts in EU impact on Hungary in the equality policy field
Titelübersetzung:Von formaler Annahme zur Durchsetzung : Auswirkungen des EU-Beitritts auf die Gleichstellungspolitik Ungarns

Quelle: European Integration online Papers, Special Issue, Vol. 13 (2009) Iss. 2, 18 S.
Inhalt: "Research on EU conditionality in equality policy in Hungary shows that while the formal EU acquis has been transposed in a fast and successful way, its enforcement and application largely lag behind. Most researchers explain this weak enforcement with factors such as state capacity problems, the absence of inclusive policy making, and low norm resonance at the domestic level. This paper analyzes how changes in EU influence in the post-accession, post-conditionality period contribute to maintaining compliance with and improving the enforcement of EU equality policy in Hungary. It aims to understand implementation processes that take place in the post-accession period through the Hungarian case of equality policy. The paper argues that in order to capture the impact of the EU in the post-accession period, one must look beyond formal transposition-related mechanisms and increasingly at financial assistance and social learning mechanisms. While mechanisms connected to formal transposition might suggest major drawbacks in formal compliance, financial assistance and social learning mechanisms seem to address more directly the application and enforcement problems that Hungary faces in the equality realm. The paper shows that these mechanisms directly and indirectly impact the most crucial factors that determine enforcement - state capacity, the strength and involvement of civil society, and norm resonance. A slow but steady move toward sustainable improvement in enforcement is indicated." (author's abstract)
Post-accession compliance with EU gender equality legislation in post-communist new member states

Autor/in:
Sedelmeier, Ulrich
Quelle: European Integration online Papers, Special Issue, Vol. 13 (2009) Iss. 2, 20 S.
Inhalt: "This paper analyses the transposition of EU legislation on gender equality at the workplace in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania and Slovenia, as well as the enforcement powers of their national equality institutions. It does not find significant differences between post- and pre-accession compliance. Overall compliance can be considered good in Hungary, Lithuania, and Slovenia, while it is considerably worse in the Czech Republic - both pre- and post-accession. As an explanation for these variations in legal transposition and enforcement bodies, the paper finds two equifinal paths towards correct transposition of EU gender equality legislation and strong enforcement bodies: either the absence of high adjustment costs, or the combination of strong social democratic governments and NGOs with special expertise in EU gender equality legislation."

Inhalt: "This article first describes the European Union's idea of gender equality and its implementation into European policies. The second section analyses the extent to which citizens of different European countries support the idea of gender equality. The empirical basis for our analysis is the 'Eurobarometer 63.1' from 2005. The descriptive findings show that while a majority of European citizens support the idea of gender equality, there are substantial differences between individual countries. In the third section we explain these differences by referring to the country's level of modernization and degree of politically institutionalised gender equality, as well as the respondents' religious orientation and level of education, among other factors."
