- Abstract
- This chapter aims to systematically analyse the structural effects of the crisis on EU gender equality policy during the 2007–2014 period. This public policy is strongly affected by budgetary cuts but also by deeper and more structural changes which tend to undermine its functioning, modes and means of action and its very legitimacy, beyond the formal provisions relating to the status of equality between women and men as a common value and a fundamental right. The Great Recession has had some direct (budgetary reduction) and indirect (unwillingness to legislate and to commit to common standards, administrative rationalisation aimed at improving ef ciency, increased competition among actors for scarce resources) effects which have transformed a process of policy change into a process of policy dismantling
