Barrier or leverage? The influence of European social policy in the Belgian equal opportunities policy. (EQUALITY) (EQUALITY)

The project investigates the impact of Europe's social policies on the Belgian gender equality policies since 1995. Our aim is to explain the partly negative balance in terms of gender equality policies, more specifically when it comes to gender mainstreaming, and the role the EU, more particularly its social policy, plays in this context. Subsequently, the project investigates the institutional conditions for an optimal impact of Europe's social policy on gender equality policies.
