Abstract

Gender equality in the post-Yugoslav area has been perceived as a linear trajectory of harmonization with the EU acquis, which in­ cluded the adoption of EU gender related guidelines and direc­ tives, CEDAW obligations and the adoption of national laws, strat­ egies and action plans. Emerging hybrid gender-oriented policies in the post-Yugoslav societies have been fragile and fragmented, Framed by inherited political cultures, ideological resistance and scarce resou rces. Clustering of academic research around recur­ ring themes of representation quotas, anti-discrimination laws and institutional gender mainstreaming has resulted in perceiving women as a homogeneous category. On the contrary, the gender equality should be understood as a he terogeneous, dynamic, both progressive and reversible, politically and socially contested pro­ cess wh ich is shaped by historical legacies, backlash,ruptures and crises within post-Yugoslav states.
