Abstract

In and beyond Europe, pro-gender and anti-gender causes are gaining momentum. This article asks the following: How do (anti-)gender agendas emerge within the European Union (EU), and how are they projected beyond the Union's borders? These questions are addressed via a contrapuntal approach, which, we argue, can help to foster multi-directional learning in (gender) policy debates. Analytically, the method entails listening to plural voices in – and across – macro, meso and micro levels of analysis. Normatively, the method supports engagement of lesser heard voices. Applying the approach at the EU scale and vis-à-vis two case studies (Hungary and the Netherlands), we identify several, counter-intuitive patterns with implications for gender-based mobilisation: namely, that emphasis on inclusion in EU gender equality promotion, paradoxically, can lead to exclusion of a wider range of gender perspectives and that anti-gender mobilisation entails forms of co-option as well as exclusion.

有争议的联盟:欧洲(全球)性别议程的对位解读
在欧洲内外,支持性别和反对性别的事业正在获得动力。本文提出以下问题:欧盟内部(反)性别议程是如何出现的,它们又是如何被投射到欧盟之外的?这些问题通过对位的方法来解决,我们认为,这有助于在(性别)政策辩论中促进多向学习。分析上,这种方法需要在宏观、中观和微观层面的分析中倾听多种声音。通常,该方法支持较少被听到的声音的参与。在欧盟范围和-à-vis两个案例研究(匈牙利和荷兰)中应用该方法,我们确定了几个反直觉的模式,这些模式对基于性别的动员有影响:即,强调欧盟性别平等促进的包容性,矛盾的是,可能导致更广泛的性别观点被排除在外,反性别动员需要选择和排斥的形式。
