“…Eastern European sociological, social-historical, and economic research of the 1970s and 1980s provided a rich literature of these multifaceted processes which, in retrospect, can be regarded as the direct ascendants of the radical social upheavals after 1989-90 (Vajda, 1988;Staniszkis, 1991;Szalai, 1991;Kochanowicz, 1997).

“…With the criticism against things linked to state socialism after 1989, there was a strong adverse reaction against women's equality (DeSilva 1993;Kiss 1991). Some suggest women's positions in society have gotten worse, as indicated by high unemployment, a return of patriarchal gender assumptions, and a rise in inequality (Einhorn 1993;Funk and Mueller 1993;Haney 1994;Hauser 1993;Rai et al 1992;Szalai 1991). The measures put in place by the socialist system to equate women have been undermined during the post-socialist period with a rise in antifeminism and a rise in pronatalism.…”

Women's/gender studies were established in the Eastern European postcommunist countries during the 1990s, as a new field of academic research and higher education. Works produced in this framework are often used as expert studies and aim to contribute to the improvement of the condition of women in that region, being at the core of the social and political reconstitution programs during the post-communist era. They were established by agents who were simultaneously active in different social spheres (scientific space, civil society associations, or institutionalized politics) and who exemplarily personify the multisituated feminism of the globalization era. These studies criss-cross national and international levels as well as scientific and militant logics. Hence they seem a pertinent entry to study the reconstruction of social sciences, the emergence of new academic topics, the international circulation and the importation of scientific questions and, finally, the recomposition of the academic elites within the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The article begins with a general point about the East-European context of the 1990s, when the socio-economic degradation of women's condition met a widely-spread rejection of feminist ideas due to their ideological manipulation by the socialist regimes. Then a zoom on the Romanian case allows us a reflection on the construction of the 'women's issue' during the post-communist transition, when several types of agents involved in the democratization reforms make theirs the transnational concern for women's rights. Finally, on the basis of these preliminary ideas, some research axes and working hypotheses are presented, such as: the sociology of gender studies as a new academic discipline, in a perspective inspired by the social history of social sciences; the sociology of the international circulation of feminist ideas and of the dynamics of EastÁWest intellectual debates on the topic of women's condition in the post-communist countries; the analysis of the multiplying bureaucratic uses of 'gender' consequences.Le domaine de recherche et d'enseignement des women's/gender/feminist studies 1 s'est institutionnalisé dans les pays d'Europe centrale et orientale (PECO) pendant la décennie 1990. Les travaux rangés sous ces labels fonctionnent souvent à des fins d'expertise, se donnent pour but de contribuer à améliorer la condition des femmes et se situent au coeur des programmes de recomposition sociale et politique lors de la sortie du communisme. Mises en place par des agents qui investissent simultanément des espaces sociaux contrastés (associatif, scientifique et politique), ces études se *
