'This book presents a thorough and well-documented theoretically guided empirical analysis of developing and implementing gender equality policies in the European Union (EU). In spite of a wealth of research, many questions remain unanswered. To deal with these, a general International Relations theoretical framework had to be developed in order to explain the changing fortunes of women's activism, the changing attitudes of European insitutions and the behaviour of member states in a multi-level setting.'
