Routledge Varieties of Opposition to Gender Equality in Europe

While many studies focus on the progress of gender equality, the forces that resist these changes are often overlooked. This academic collection provides a necessary look at the dynamics of opposition to gender equality as a political project in Europe. By examining the challenges and potential of current scholarship, this book helps fill a significant gap in political and sociological research. Edited by Mieke Verloo and a team of international experts, the text is organized into three distinct parts. It moves beyond simply tracking progress to theorizing why and how opposition occurs. This makes it a vital resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in comparative politics and social sciences. Understanding these negative dynamics is essential for anyone studying the evolution of gender politics in a European context.
