Dear Colleagues,
I would like to inform you that my book on gender and post-communist
family policy is now available. In this book, I compare the development
of family policies in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia
with Germany, Sweden and the UK. This book is unique in presenting a
historical-institutional analysis of current family policies and it
emphasizes how institutions influence ideas and attitudes. The book
mixes methods and includes research based on historical documents,
analyses of newspapers, party programs, statistical analyses of survey
data and 100 interviews with policymakers and activists from the most
important NGOs.
The web address for the book at Palgrave is:
