Beskrivning
This book examines opposition to the Council of Europe’s Istanbul Convention and its consequences for the politics of violence against women in four countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Krizsán and Roggeband discuss why and how successful anti-gender mobilizations managed to obstruct ratification of the Convention or push for withdrawal from it. They show how resistance to the Convention significantly redraws debates on violence against women and has consequences for policies, women’s rights advocacy, and gender-equal democracy.

“The book provides both meticulously researched and detailed analyses of the development in the individual countries … . Krizsán’s and Roggeband’s book skilfully marries an in-depth … in four countries with more generally applicable – certainly for the Central and Eastern European region and likely beyond – observations … . Their concern – laid out in the book … that these processes undermine gender-equal democracy is valid. We should read it and take heed.” (Barbara Havelková, CEU Review of Books, ceureviewofbooks.com, September, 2023)“The book by Andrea Krizsán and Conny Roggeband makes an invaluable contribution … . Politicizing Gender and Democracy in the Context of the Istanbul Convention is an example of excellent analysis of a contemporary phenomenon of anti-gender mobilization. It is stimulating and provocative and will undoubtedly become the starting point for scholars interested in civil society in all its forms.” (Galina A. Nelaeva and Elena A. Khabarova, Affilia, March 7, 2022)“The book makes an important contribution to research on political mobilisation against gender equality, as well as on the efforts of feminist movements to elevate combatting violence against women on the political agenda. … this book is therefore essential reading for scholars and activists in the fields of political science, gender studies, and pubic and global health.” (Lynda Gilby, Intersections, East European Journal of Society and Politics, Vol. 7 (4), 2021)
