    Abstract

    This presentation will explore the theoretical and normative challenges to reframe feminist approaches to democracy from intersectional and transnational perspectives and present empirical findings from EU research projects. The recent economic crisis has inspired debates about equality and justice within and beyond the nation state and about the abilities of transnational civil society actors to influence the political agenda. Feminist scholarship has started to explore intersections of gender, class and diversity at national and transnational levels and to reframe feminist approaches to gender equality and justice. The intersectional challenges to democracy include debates about gender, class and ethnicity/race; about participation/ representation and redistribution; about politics and economics. The transnational challenges include debates about intersections of democracy within the nation state with supra-national EU and global governance.
