Call for chapter proposals: Towards Gendering Institutionalism: Equality in Europe in the New Millennium
The feminist institutionalist turn
seeks to synthesize feminist insights with new institutional theory, with gender traditionally proving to be a blind spot for new institutionalists. We aim to bring gender to the fore as a critical aspect of institutions and open up new avenues to explain the dynamics of power and change.

This volume will build on a November 2014 special issue of European Integration online Papers on this topic (see http://eiop.or.at/eiop/pdf/2014-003.pdf). This edited book aims to grow this early effort. More precisely, we seek to:
1)consolidate and expand the theoretical toolkit in terms of synergies between feminist approaches and new institutionalisms various strands (e.g., historical, sociological)
2) bring it to bear on the trajectory of Europes gender equality agenda towards better understanding the institutional and institutionalized challenges to redressing gender
inequalities.
In casting our empirical lens on Europe, we take a best case scenario with explicit transformative aims to the social (gendered) order in order to illuminate how institutional processes and their gendering help and hinder institutional change.
