From grassroots to institutions
Abstract
Drawing on an exploration of English -and French- speaking literature on women's movements in Europe over the last three decades, this chapter is organised into four sections:
- The first maps out the founding studies on women's movements in Europe, which provided typologies based on country-specific case studies and cross-country comparisons.
- The second section examines studies of women's movements' interplay with the state and policy-making.
- The third section explores the body of literature addressing the relationship between women's moveme,ts and party/electoral politics.
- Finally, the fourth section focuses on recent trends of research which address the impact of European Union integration on women's advocacy.
