“…317 Public administration has an active role to play in re-framing and re-democratising the policy issues at hand. Issue framing, the central starting point of any analysis, is political, contested and a power struggle, 318 even in the hands of scientists and researchers in ex-ante IA.…”

It is said that "theories are to serve a purpose of change, or none." 1 Accordingly, the overall paradigm of my study is feminist: I propose that an implementation of gender equality tools for policy IA will eventually contribute to better equality policy and programming outcomes. Mainstreaming GIA/GBA practices in public policy and programme analysis is indispensable both to fulfilling constitutional and international commitments to legal equality as well as to exercising democratic stewardship. In the first part of this last chapter, I synthesise my empirical findings, providing comparative conclusions from the Canadian and European approaches to gender analysis. In the second part, I then contextualize these empirical results in relation to feminist, post-positivist, standpoint and critical governance theories. In the third and concluding part, I present a vision for the future of IA and the role of gender analysis could play in it. 2 5.1 gendeR eQuaLity goveRnance thRough iMpact assessMent: coMpaRative concLusions This section provides a comparative overview of the implementation and practice of gender analysis tools in the Canadian and European environments. It identifies the factors that hinder enhanced tool implementation and practice and those that drive change by providing institutional learning opportunities. The following table is a reminder of the genealogy of each tool.

“…Gender research on policy implementation has emerged especially in the context of analyses of international regulations and strategies, in particular, those concerning gender mainstreaming and violence against women. However, the issue of policy implementation has received growing attention by gender scholars and a number of calls have been issued in recent years about the need for more systematic analysis of the implementation and practice of gender equality policies (Engeli & Mazur, 2018;Mazur, 2017;Blofield & Haas, 2013). While acknowledging the need for gender scholarship to get more involved with public policy debates, in this section we highlight valuable insight offered by the broader literature on gender and politics for the study of policy implementation.…”

Care policies in practice: how discourse matters for policy implementation

This article puts public policy research in dialogue with gender and politics studies to enhance our understanding of the implementation of care policies. Care policies present interesting problems of implementation because of the multiplicity of aims, values, inequalities, actors and levels of governance involved. Nonetheless, previous research shows two important gaps: 1) the neglect of discursive factors in studies of implementation; and 2) the lack of attention to implementation processes in the analysis of care policies. This article suggests a general framework to address these issues which considers discourse as a transversal factor connecting actors and institutions engaged in policy implementation. The articles in this special issue demonstrate that including discourses in the analysis of care policy implementation makes visible the influence of gender+ norms and the dynamic and contentious processes surrounding them in a variety of institutional arenas, levels, and national contexts.

“…Before an issue can be formulated into policy, parties define and construct what is at stake (Slothuus and de Vreese Claes 2010;Blofield and Haas 2013). Feminist scholars emphasise that issues are problematised in different ways, depending on which groups (parties) are able to determine a policy debate, which, in turn, will have impact on the type of policy that is adopted (Blofield and Haas 2013). According to Blofield and Haas (2013, 713), "framing is a strategic choice".…”

“…On the other hand, the conservative approach represents women's interests by giving them the opportunity to "choose to stay at home" and care for their children themselves (see . Policies that promote mothers' employment and offer public childcare services advance gender equality more than policies promoting traditional families and paying women to stay at home to care for their children (Blofield and Haas 2013).…”

Analysing the “what” and “when” of women’s substantive representation: the role of right-wing populist party ideology

Existing scholarship underscores the contested nature of the relationship between women's representation and right-wing parties. This article contributes to this literature by examining women's substantive representation in Poland under the rightwing populist Law and Justice government from 2015 to 2019. It is specifically concerned with the "what" and "when" of substantive representation: while the former deals with various women's issues, the latter concerns the conversion of issues into policies. Using representation theory and refined partisan theory, this article sheds light on gendered representation, an issue often overlooked in the scholarly literature on women and politics in Central and Eastern Europe.
