Success and shattered illusions characterize the experiences of European countries in implementing gender equality policies. The European Union (EU), with its new gender equality acquis, incentivizes de jure progress among Member States. However, its influence on administrative, political, and social practices, particularly in Eastern Europe, remains weak. Reports from eleven Member States highlight both the challenges and opportunities faced in implementing gender equality policies. Susanne Baer and Miriam Hoheisel explore the EU's impact on these policies and the transition from socialism to capitalism. The first part includes Petra Schott's overview of the EU's gender equality acquis and Henriette Meseke's insights into how European structural policy promotes gender equality. Gender experts from Western Europe discuss their experiences with Gender Mainstreaming (GM) in the second part, emphasizing the importance of political framing and the challenges in achieving mainstream acceptance. The third part illustrates how EU accession has established a legal foundation for gender equality, with contributions from various countries detailing their progress and challenges. Finally, Silke Steinhilber critiques current developments and discusses ongoing challenges in the fourth part, while an appendix provides additional information on the socioeconomic situation of women and men in Europe.
