As a field of scholarship, gender and politics has exploded over the last fifty years and is now global, institutionalized, and ever expanding. The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Politics brings to political science an accessible and comprehensive overview of the key contributions of gender scholars to the study of politics and shows how these contributions produce a richer understanding of polities and societies. Like the field it represents, the handbook has a broad understanding of what counts as political and is based on a notion of gender that highlights masculinities as well as femininities, thereby moving feminist debates in politics beyond the focus on women. It engages with some of the key aspects of political science as well as important themes in gender and feminist research (such as sexuality and body politics), thereby forging a dialogue between gender studies in politics and mainstream political science. The handbook is organized in sections that look at sexuality and body politics; political economy; civil society; participation, representation and policymaking; institutions, states and governance as well as nation, citizenship and identity. The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Politics contains and reflects the best scholarship in its field.

The volume provides the first comprehensive account of the European Commission under its first female president, Ursula von der Leyen (2019-2024). Amid unprecedented crises, von der Leyen pressed forward with an exceptionally ambitious political agenda, simultaneously pushing European integration into new territory and demanding a new European vision for "A Union of Equality." Applying a gender approach, this book systematically examines von der Leyen's ascendance to and exercise of political leadership in the European Union, the Commission's substantive agenda-setting and policy-making, its responses to the various European crises, and its impact on European governance. The volume provides a new conceptual framework, "critical actorness", capturing both continuities and changes in individual agency and structural processes at the European level from a gender perspective. It encompasses detailed single and comparative analyses, providing an in-depth examination of both von der Leyen and the Commission's multifaceted policy-making, intra- and inter-institutional relations, and crisis management. The volume demonstrates that while von der Leyen and her Commission provided proactive leadership in face of imminent crises, their performance was less effective in addressing long-term issues, particularly gender equality, and LGBTIQ and minority rights. Integrating gender, leadership, structures, policies, and crises, the volume facilitates a deep understanding of the role and significance of the von der Leyen Commission in the evolution of European integration and the process of European governance.

This book breaks new ground in gender and politics research by studying the multiple ways in which gender and intersectional equalities shape and are shaped by social partners representing employers and employees in Europe, as well as the relationships between those social partners. Little critical attention has been paid to these organizations, yet, as this volume illustrates, social partners are important actors in relation to gender and other inequalities at the level of both individual European countries and the European Union. The chapters in this volume explore the impact of social partners on (in)equalities in a variety of 21st-century political contexts, taking into account phenomena such as neoliberalisation, austerity, and the COVID-19 crisis. This volume adds a crucial dimension to studies on gender inequalities in the labour market, contributing to research on issues such as domestic work, the gender pay gap, and the persistent undervaluationof women’s labour and feminized reproductive labour, in particular care work. It also represents a significant contribution to the literature on gender equality policy. The book’s focus on social partners provides important insights that help to explain the persistence of gender inequalities and the difficulties of adopting and implementing policies to combat them. This volume should appeal to students and researchers of gender studies, politics, European politics, employment relations, and international relations, as well as to policymakers engaged in addressing gender inequalities in the labour market.

This open access book provides the first ever authoritative collection of scholarly insights, based upon original research, into the political groups of the EP tackling the fundamental changes since the Lisbon Treaty and the upsurge of radical right parties. It analyses political groups and their importance from multiple perspectives critically assessing their role and significance in EU politics. Each chapter is authored by leading scholars in the field, working on key topics in relation to political groups: political group formation and function, their role in parliamentary and EU policy-making, the way that Eurosceptic MEPs influence (or not) the Parliament, and the nature and form of interactions with external actors. In doing so, each chapter opens hitherto unexplored ‘black boxes’ in the political work of the EP, such as the internal practices of, and power relations within the political groups, and informal arenas of intra-group decision-making.

Miten talouskriisi vaikuttaa tasa-arvoon? Muuttuuko tasa-arvo-oikeus, kun politiikka muuttuu? Ketkä ovat nykyajan feministisiä toimijoita? Jakaako vanhuus ihmiset voittajiin ja häviäjiin? Tasa-arvolla on nykypolitiikassa tärkeä symbolinen merkitys, mutta vaikuttaako siihen mitenkään, ketkä hallituksessa istuvat? Tasa-arvolla on takanaan myrskyisä vuosikymmen. Sitä ovat ravistelleet muun muassa konservatismin ja oikeistopopulismin nousu sekä muutokset työmarkkinoilla ja hoivan alalla. Rasismi ja sukupuolen moninaisuus ovat monimutkaistaneet tasa-arvopolitiikkaa. Tasa-arvo koskettaa jokaista, ja sitä pidetään tärkeänä asiana, mutta moni siihen liittyvä kysymys on yhä ratkaisematta. Tasa-arvopolitiikan suunnanmuutoksia tarjoaa kattavan ja asiantuntevan katsauksen nykyiseen tasa-arvopolitiikkaan arvioimalla sen saavutuksia, pysyvyyttä ja muutoksia. Erityisesti teos pureutuu suomalaisen tasa-arvopolitiikan uusiin tuuliin, sokeisiin pisteisiin ja haasteisiin. Samalla se opastaa lukijansa kriittisen tasa-arvolukutaidon äärelle.

Onko Suomi tasa-arvon mallimaa? Muuttuva tasa-arvo kyseenalaistaa perinteisiä käsityksiä suomalaisesta tasa-arvosta ja tasa-arvopolitiikasta. Tasa-arvon ja yhdenvertaisuuden teemoja käsitellään moninaistuvan ja monikulttuuristuvan yhteiskunnan näkökulmasta, ja esillä ovat niin sukupuolten kuin erilaisten vähemmistöjenkin kysymykset. Aiheina ovat muun muassa sukupuolten palkkauksen eriarvoisuus, paritus ja ihmiskauppa, raskaana olevien naisten syrjintä sekä perinteisestä poikkeavien perheiden oikeus nauttia perhe-elämän suojaa. Asioita lähestytään niin käsitteellisesti, teoreettisesti kuin historiallisestikin. Muuttuva tasa-arvo soveltuu tasa-arvopolitiikan ja -oikeuden oppikirjaksi sekä yleisteokseksi tasa-arvo- ja yhdenvertaisuusasioista kiinnostuneille.
