Towards a “Union of Equality:” Assessing the von der Leyen Commission

Together with Gabriele Abels (University of Tübingen), Johanna Kantola (University of Helsinki), and Emanuela Lombardo (Complutense University of Madrid)

In Progress/Edited Volume

This volume will provide the first comprehensive evaluation of the European Commission under Ursula von der Leyen (2019-2024) from the perspective of gender. It will study the Commission’s quest for gender equality in terms of policies and politics, its exercise of leadership and response to the multiplicity of crises, as well as its impact on the symbolic, descriptive, and substantive representation of women in the European Commission and the Union, more broadly.
