CA23149 - Democratization at stake? Comparing Anti-Gender Politics in CEE and NME countries (Antigender-Politics)
In the era of globalization after the 1990s, the states of Eastern Europe (EE) as well as the close European neighbours in the Near and Middle East (NME) underwent significant social changes and political developments, especially with regard to democratization. Political consensus on norms such as “women’s rights are human rights” and/or on measures against sexual discrimination appeared as a central component and symbol of democratization and democratic societies.
The network aims to investigate and discuss anti-gender politics in Eastern Europe and neighboring countries through academic events and disseminate the findings. It seeks to address the lack of systematic analysis on the link between the rise of anti-gender and anti-feminist mobilizations and the decline of democratic norms and structures. Four working groups will be formed, including participants from EE and NME countries, early-career researchers, innovators, and NGOs.
This COST Action includes the participation of CEAD Integrated Researcher Francisco Suárez Professor Hugo Cunha Lança and Associated Researcher Dr. Carlos Ferreira da Silva.
