New: Special Issue: Gender and Public Policy in Europe
The past decade has witnessed a series of parallel developments in the empirical practice and the scholarly study of women, gender and public policy in Europe. This special issue of Comparative European Politics, edited by Amy Mazur and Mark Pollack, features eight new articles by leading scholars in the field, including a keynote article by Mazur and other articles examining the development of gender mainstreaming and sexual harassment policy in the European Union, the impacts of EU accession in east European countries, the development of caring-time policies in western Europe, as well as issues of representation, reproduction, and multiculturalism. For a limited time, you can read the keynote article Comparative Gender and Policy Projects in Europe: Current Trends in Theory, Method and Research by Amy Mazur FREE
Special Issue: The Political Cost of Property Booms
Do housing booms matter in the world economy? Comparative and international political economy largely ignored residential property until the recent sub-prime crisis. This Special Issue, edited by Herman M. Schwartz and Leonard Seabrooke, remedies this by subjecting property politics to comparative and international analysis. The issue’s authors consider ‘The Political Cost of Property Booms’ in the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, as well as Australasia and Scandinavia. In each case local property politics raises questions about welfare distribution, intergenerational equity, international investment, and tendencies toward political conservatism. For a limited time, you can read the lead article by Guest Editors Herman A. Schwartz and Leonard Seabrooke FREE.
