“…Dennoch wird die EU von vielen Autorinnen als wichtige Arena für die Artikulation und Durchsetzung frauenpolitischer Interessen betrachtet. Für einzelne Politikfelder werden frauenund gleichstellungspolitische Spielräume ausgelotet und Wechselverhältnisse zwischen Frauenorganisationen und EU -Politik analysiert (Hoskyns 1996, Rossilli 2000, Schmidt 2000. Dabei wird gefragt, ob Frauen ausreichend Organisations-und Konfliktfähigkeit besitzen, ob sie in Besitz von Machtressourcen (z.B.…”

“…Gender mainstreaming was received in the context of the EU. As a result of intensive lobbying by the European Women's Lobby (EWL), the principles of gender mainstreaming were incorporated into the EU Amsterdam treaty of 1997, and thus became obligatory for the member states (Schmidt, 2000). In spite of its stronger legal foundation by the EU subregional context and thus rather far reaching potential, at first, gender mainstreaming was received rather reluctantly by the women's movement in Germany.…”

“…The new feminist movements formed an NGO Women's Forum (NRO Frauenforurn) as a "This sceptical view was corroborated by the abortive attempt to abolish the committee for women's right in the European Parliament by appealing to gender mainstreaming.

This article proposes a working definition of globalization, which, although recognizing power asymmetries and risks, focuses on the changing options of actors. 1 link globalization to the options of diverse actors such as feminist networks and supranational and state institutions and enterprises. These options are related to resources, power, and capacities. The United Nations Decades of Women provided a dramatically opening opportunity structure for the global women's movement that could enlarge and diversih their options. They had developed a common charter while respecting differences and capacities for global orientation. Finally, I illustrate the argument by looking at processes of feminist regulations, which were negotiated by women's movements in Japan and Germany. Both cases suggest that negotiations and regulations in the global context are possiblefrom an asymmetric position and that innovative capacities for transnational and global orientation and horizontal organization are crucial. Further research is necessary on innovative and egalitarian forms of regulation in globalization. GLOBALIZATION AND COMPLEX INEQUALITIESGlobalization processes are interrelated with gender in various and contradictory ways. On the one hand, they contribute to the erosion of national hegemonic gender orders. Thus, they are part of the transformations that may open futures for new gender contracts. On the other hand, they are forming in the context of deep historical inequality. As they originate in the context of the capitalist and patriarchal world system (Wallerstein, 1975;Leacock, 1981), they are prestructured by longterm power relationships between the North and South, dominant men and women, and workers and subordinated ethnicized and racialized groups. This inequality is indicative of the access to new chances and risks in the context of globalization. To be a player in the global game requires considerable material resources (i.e., financial assets, organizational efficiency, and information) and adequate personal capacities.Globalization processes are shaped by power games under circumstances in which women as well as other subordinated groups have fewer resources and less power. I argue that existing power relations do not automatically determine the result of these processes in ways "globalization determinists" seem to assume. Neither does globalization lead to prosperity for all, as the neo-liberal proponents have advocated, nor does it simply intensify capitalist rule over the third world, workers, women, and nature as some critical authors have argued. Rather, I conceptualize
