After World War II, democratization came into fashion as panacea for countries in transition. This trend continues to be an issue in the 21st century too. The implications of the transformation for public as well as private life are considerably different for women than for men. Studies have shown that even in democratic states gender inequality has been reinforced than effectively attenuated. Feminist theories take up the issue of female discrimination on a theoretical level and provide explanations and measures in order to erase these inequalities. Gender mainstreaming is an approach to address gender inequalities in practice. The European Union, as a community of values, promotes gender mainstreaming not only among its member states, but also for its candidate states in the context of external democracy promotion. This paper examines the current gender initiatives in Serbia which is currently an EU candidate country. In fact, there are many gender activities form different civil society actors and NGOs around Serbia. The positivist feminist theories are more apt to explain the current gender activities. The post-structuralist theories mainly deal with micro situations. Therefore, it is difficult to apply these perspectives in a study on the overall gender situation in a specific country. By contrast, these theories could be applied for studying micro situations within a particular country. Accordingly, the theory has implications on the research design for such a study. A study based on post-structuralist theory would be based on ethnography rather than statistical data and a literature review.

Kesalahan perspektif terhadap konsep di dalam Islam telah sampai pada pembahasan perempuan, yang oleh sebagian kalangan masih dianggap tabu. Walaupun pembahasan gender dalam Islam telah muncul sejak kelahirannya, namun ketika terjadi benturan dengan tuntutan sosial, politik, dan budaya misalnya, diskursus ini ramai dibicarakan kembali. Banyak hal yang harus diluruskan dalam persepsi masyarakat tentang perempuan terutama anggapan bahwa kaum laki-laki lebih utama daripada kaum perempuan. Banyak kalangan berbicara tentang ketimpangan sosial berdasarkan jenis kelamin. Islam tidak sejalan dengan paham patriarki yang tidak memberikan peluang bagi perempuan untuk berkarya lebih besar di dalam atau di luar rumah. Al-Qur'an tidak mengenalkan konsep dosa warisan dari ibu-bapak umat manusia (Hawa dan Adam) dalam skandal buah terlarang, melainkan itu tanggung jawab bersama keduanya. Perbedaan anatomi fisik dan biologis antara laki–laki dan perempuan tidaklah mengharuskan adanya perbedaan status dan kedudukan. Dalam persoalan tuntutan kesetaraan gender inilah tulisan ini akan membahasnya. Kata Kunci: Islam, Kesetaraan, Gender

Durch die Beteiligung von Forscherinnen aus Großbritannien, Schweden und Finnland konnten auch internationale Perspektiven zur Genderforschung diskutiert werden." (Autorenreferat)

The desire to elect more women to public office is likely to affect a range of political behaviors and may explain the relatively low levels of women's descriptive representation overall. Yet, little is known about the public's view of the ideal gender composition of government. We find that the public expresses a preference for higher levels of women's representation than the country has experienced. Women are more likely than men to express a view, though men and women do not differ in their preferences on the ideal percentage of male officeholders. We examine the role of gender stereotypes and the experience of being represented by women officeholders in shaping support for women's representation.
