  2. Reconstituting Democracy in Europe • Five-year project financed by the EU under FP6 • Twenty partners, coordinated by ARENA, University of Oslo • Starting point: Democratic ‘deficit’ in the EU • Exploring three alternatives: Democracy reconstituted at the national level Democracy reconstituted at the supranational level Democracy based reconstituted in a post-national polity

  3. A feminist perspective How can a feminist analysis contribute to the debate? • What we have: Feminist theorising on justice, citizenship, representation (in an already constituted polity) • What we lack: Feminist theorising of European integration • What difference would it make? Hypothesis: Different opportunities and constraints afforded by each model of democracy in the EU

  4. Objectives • To provide a feminist perspective on the future of democracy in Europe What kind of gender politics/policies does each model of EU democracy give scope for? • To establish criteria for the assessment of EU policy/policy making • To explore the status of GJ in the EU Map EU institutional arrangements, policy processes and policy content Three case studies: Gender pay gap, gender balance in decision-making, gender violence • How can gender justice and democracy be fostered within Europe?
