The European commission

In this innovative book, a well-known feminist and sociologist-who is also the founding editor of Gender & Society-challenges our most basic assumptions about gender. Judith Lorber argues that gender is wholly a product of socialization, subject to human agency, organization, and interpretation, and that it is a social institution comparable to the economy, the family, and religion in its significance and consequences. Calling into question the inevitability and necessity of gender, she envisions a society structured for equality, where no gender, racial ethnic, or social class group is allowed to monopolize positions of power.

Justice and the Politics of Difference

The term ''neo-liberalism'' denotes new forms of political-economic governance premised on the extension of market relationships. In critical social science literatures, the term has usurped labels referring to specific political projects (Thatcherism, Regeanomics, Rogernomics), and is more widely
used than its counterparts including, for example, economic rationalism, monetarism, neo-conservatism, managerialism and contractualism.

Neo-liberalism: policy, ideology, governmentality

The notion of social cohesion appears when policy communities are engaged in discussing and redesigning citizenship regimes. One aspect of the citizenship regime with which reformers are concerned is the welfare architecture, and in particular the kind of state needed in the new knowl- edge economy. The main proposition of this paper is that a redesigned welfare structure, undertaken by policy communities concerned about social cohesion, is often one that envisages a social invest- ment state. To explore this hypothesis, the paper proceeds in three steps. First, it briefly documents the emergence in a number of settings of the discourse of "social investment." Second, it maps the differences between two citizenship regimes, the post-war one anchored in social rights and the one under construction now. The paper then turns to examine the consequences of this new regime for the design of social policy in the first decades of the 21st century.

New Routes to Social Cohesion? Citizenship and the Social Investment State

What effect did the two world wars have on the relations between women and men? Drawing on broad comparative material-from government policy to popular media, poetry and fiction, and personal letters-this book examines the redefinition of gender that occurred in many Western countries during both world wars. \"A major addition to the literature on gender relations and war.\"-Helena Lewis, Women's Review of Books \"One of the first, and certainly the most exciting, treatments of war as an event of gender politics.\"-Choice \"A substantial contribution to the social history of this century.\"-Anne Summers, Times Literary Supplement \"These essays powerfully demonstrate how much the world wars provided battlegrounds not only for nations but for the sexes.\"-Michael S. Sherry, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science \"A work of lively, engaged scholarship...This is an important contribution to current debates about war and human identity, war and political reality, war and transformative possibility.\"-Jean Bethke Elshtain

Diffusing Ideas for After Neoliberalism: The Social Investment Perspective in Europe and Latin America

The social investment perspective is replacing standard neoliberalism in Latin America as well as Europe. With it come ideas about social citizenship that reconfigure the citizenship regimes of the three regions. The responsibility mix is equilibrated to give a greater role for the state, although as investor rather than spender; access to citizenship rights shifts to incorporate the excluded and marginalized; and governance practices alter to emphasize decentralization to the local and the community. The main idea of the social investment perspective is that the future must be assured by investing in children and ending the interge- nerational transmission of disadvantage. With this set of child- centered policy ideas, the equality claims of adult women and attention to their needs are sidelined in favor of those of children, including girls.

Lost in Translation: The Social Investment Perspective and Gender Equality

English Social policy communities now often focus on ‘new social risks’. Despite a clear preference for controlling state spending, they also consider that these risks call for ‘social investments’. Concentration on investments, activation and the future is considered an optimal anchor for redesigning their welfare systems. Convergence around three ideas prompt us to speak of a shift towards a LEGOTM paradigm: learning over the life-course; a future orientation; and the collective benefits of an active society. Just as when Keynesianism was paradigmatic, however, we recognise that divergences exist in the ways that the paradigm is implemented.
