CFP: Implementing care policies to advance inclusive gender equality 2017 European Conference on Politics and Gender (ECPG), June 8-10, University of Lausanne, Switzerland Rossella Ciccia (Queen’s University Belfast), Emanuela Lombardo (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), and Alba Alonso (University of Santiago de Compostela) Gender policy research has privileged the analysis of policy adoption and only recently it has started to systematically investigate post-adoption policies, including implementation. This panel examines care policies in practice by investigating their implementation in different national contexts and how this contributes to reinforce or diminish gender and other inequalities. We particularly welcome papers focusing on elder care policies, but proposals might also explore issues related to the implementation of childcare and other work-life balance and care policies. We invite submissions addressing aspects relating to the following questions: How does policy implementation in relation to the social organisation of care shape patterns of inequality for various groups of individuals? How does implementation promote gender role transformation? What is the relation between the politics of policy design and implementation? What is the influence of the choice of instruments and policy frames (e.g. gendering/degendering) on the implementation process? How does the variety of institutional and civil society actors operating in multilevel settings shape policy implementation? What are the political dynamics of domination, resistance and empowerment? And how are the adoption and post-adoption phases related in care policies? Paper abstracts (max 300 words) should be submitted to Rossella Ciccia ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>), Emanuela Lombardo ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>), and Alba Alonso ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by November 8th. This panel is part of Gender Equality Policy in Practice network (GEPP) http://www.csbppl.com/gepp/.
