www.reconproject.eu | NEWW will
collaborate in a new study on gender equality and democracy in the
European Union. This study is part of a recently launched 5 year-
integrated project entitled Reconstituting Democracy in Europe
(RECON, www.reconproject.eu).
The project is funded by
the EU under the 6th Framework Programme and coordinated by the
Arena Centre for European Studies at the University of Oslo. Within
this project, the Centre for the Advancement of Women in Politics,
led by Dr Yvonne Galligan at Queen�s University Belfast, will
coordinate a work package entitled Justice, Democracy and Gender.
Other participants of this study include the ARENA Centre at the
University of Oslo (Dr. Cathrine Holst), Eötvös Loránd University,
Budapest (Dr. Maria Heller) and Riga Graduate School of Law
(Kristine Kruma and Tatjana Evas) The core objective of the
study is three-fold:
- To explore the status of gender equality within the enlarged
EU;
- To analyse what kind of gender policies can be justified with
regard to three alternative models for reconstituting democracy in
Europe.
- To arrive at specific recommendations for how gender equality
can best be fostered within Europe.
