Drawing on utopian thought, Maro Pantelidou Maloutas proposes a re-examination of the notion of the gendered subject and a revision of the dominant perceptions of the relations between sex, sexuality and gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains a critique of specific EU gender policies and shows how in seeking to do away with gender inequality, simply formulating policies that are pro-women is not enough. In order to approach democracy's emancipatory component, far-reaching policies which deconstruct rather than modernize gender relations are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46929632460951,"sku":"9780415382960","price":10150.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415382960.webp?v=1771601137","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-gender-of-democracy-citizenship-and-gendered-subjectivity-9780415382960","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
