Beyond methodological nationalism in explanations of gender equality: The impact of EU policies on gender provisions in national collective agreements in Belgium (1957–2020) Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven

The right to health as the basis for universal health coverage : a cross-national analysis of national medicines policies of 71 countries Universiteit Gent

We present a cross-national content analysis of national ...
