This chapter examines the gendered dimensions of the European Union’s climate change policy discourse, which has historically been gender-blind but is nonetheless influenced by gendered structures and value systems. By applying a critical ecofeminist lens combined with hegemony analysis, the study explores how these gendered patterns shape the EU’s...

The concluding chapter synthesises the findings of the ecofeminist hegemony analysis applied to the climate policy identities of India and the EU, highlighting their masculinised nature, despite their significant differences. It contrasts the two case studies and in summary answers the research questions and sets the stage for broader reflections....

The chapter proposes an in-depth systematic and model-driven approach to grasp the E...

India and the European Union bear a particular responsibility: as international relations change, not least because of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the two largest democracies in the world have the unique potential to jointly demonstrate that trusting cooperation and mutual understanding are both indispensable and fruitful—all the more so in the c...

The study aims to explore the identities of women in the framework of the protection and participation discourses by the United Nations Security Council. Even though women play several roles, such as peace negotiators, mediators, and victims, a narrowing of the discourse often happens. Zürn points out that an intersectional approach allows us to un...
