The EU as global actor and its influence on the global gender regime

Más información sobre el libro

The dissertation explores the European Union's significant transformation of the gender regime towards equality and its external influence on societal changes. It critically examines whether this external influence aligns with the EU's internal claims, particularly in the realm of trade, which serves as the EU's primary external policy area. Given the EU's status as an economic powerhouse with the largest single market globally, the research highlights its ability to shape normative standards through trade relations.
