Abstract
|
|
|
|
| This chapter examines the quality of gender equality policies in EU development co-operation with South Africa to gain a deeper understanding of the EU as a global gender actor. In this chapter the perspectives of South African gender advocates are used as a touchstone for the evaluation of both process and content dimensions of quality. The research shows that EU-South African co-operation conforms with dominant development paradigms which seem to neglect the specific South African contextual legacy. If the EU wants to stay relevant as a global promotor of gender equality, it would do good to include national gender advocates’ voices in external policy processes in a more meaningful and systematic way, as to avoid Eurocentric ideas on the meaning of “quality” in gender policy abroad. |
