“…In the exercise of "knowledge-making" actors engage in multiple policy spaces (MacRae, 2006), just as developments in other sectors and "policy domains" (Shore, Wright, & Pero, 2011), and their timing (Skogstad, 2011a) can spill over to affect sectoral policy paradigms. Verloo (2005, p. 15) drawing on the work of Braithwaite (1999) argues that the absence of precise objectives on reducing gender equalities within the gender mainstreaming approach has made it vulnerable to relocation within and then subject to "other policy goals, such as employment creation, economic growth or poverty reduction".…”

The growing influence of transnational process, institutions and policy communities has contributed to the emergence of a global public policy that is distinct (although not separate) from the national process of policy-making. In this context gender equality and gender mainstreaming have become dominant policy and political narratives for addressing gender injustice. The focus of this paper is on developing the conceptual and theoretical links between global policy paradigms and gender equality and incorporating multi-scalarity, translation and disjuncture into our understanding of the ways in which policies are made, processed and enacted. The discussion begins by extending Hall's concept of policy paradigm as a nationally bounded entity and highlighting the transnational processes and institutions contributing to the emergence of a global policy paradigm and global policy space. It then goes on to highlight the fluidity of policy paradigms and the importance of moving beyond the focus on techno-managerial "order" as the essence of the policy paradigm and indicators of change and instead to bring into sharper focus disjuncture and tensions.

“…Embedding implies that the norms, values and procedures inherent in an institution form part of a larger spectrum of power relations prevailing in the time and space in which it is situated. Social orders, like gender orders (MacRae, 2006;von Wahl, 2005), have distributive effects, privilege certain groups over others and are all connected to the practice of power, working both discursively and institutionally. Discursive power inheres in communication, symbols and texts; institutional dimensions are expressed through procedures and behaviour.…”

“…The national gender regime was based on principles of difference rather than equality (MacRae 2006). The role of the ECJ is pivotal (see Locher and van der Vleuten in this volume): norms agreed upon at this level take 'direct effect' in the member states, becoming an integral part of the legal norm system that national judges are required to apply.…”

“…Discursive power inheres in communication, symbols and texts; institutional dimensions are expressed through procedures and behaviour. Sylvia Walby's (2004) concept of a gender regime (or order) is employed by many feminist researchers addressing EU gender relations (Liebert 2003c;MacRae 2006;von Wahl 2005). Elisabeth Prügl's research (2004; see her contribution in this volume) on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reveals how the discursive dimension of a patriarchal order, in the name of the 'family farm', informed and underpinned German debates over the CAP from the start.…”
