Abstract
The objective of the book is to investigate how major social and political actors and opinion leaders across Europe understand the interrelations between gender, ethno-national diversity and European democracy. It addresses fundamental themes in contemporary European politics and research: how does gender diversity influence national democracies across Europe; how does gender diversity influence expectations for the democratisation of the European Union (EU)? In what ways are women and minorities included or excluded in an (emerging) European Public Sphere (EPS) or in multiple EPSs? To what extent have the political activities of women and ethnic minorities contributed towards diminishing the ‘democratic deficit’ in the EU? This book is thus a contribution to the theoretical and comparative literature on the perceptions of dominant social and political actors on gender diversity in the EPS.
