“The edited volume provides a comprehensive review of the political groups in the context of a European Parliament experiencing increased polarization, high expectations and increased responsibilities. Together these contributions highlight the complexity of the EP political groups while confirming their centrality within the broader EU political system.” Professor Amie Kreppel, University of Florida, USA

This book brings together some of the best new research on political groups. Based on an impressive set of interviews and careful field research, the scholars uncover interconnections between formal and informal processes, and shed new light on how democratic representation and equality play out.” Professor Simon Hix, European University Institute, Italy

“The deep evolution of the European Parliament’s partisan landscape announces a new era of EU politics requesting new studies and approaches. A unique set of chapters analysing the political groups from various angles provide fresh views on political dynamics within the EP.” Professor Olivier Costa, CNRS-Sciences Po (France) and College of Europe (Belgium)

Endorsements:

“This book offers a collection of insightful and important studies of a long neglected area in gender and politics research. It spans from case studies of gender equality in national trade unions in Europe to the role of social partners in the European Union. A must-read for everyone who wants to understand more about the recent development of gender, power and corporatism in Europe.” Christina Bergqvist, Professor of Political Science, Uppsala University, Sweden

“This volume will interest politics researchers/students as well as those in other fields including sociology, employment relations, business and management studies. Its focus on gender and social partners and how they both shape and challenge gender inequalities is more than timely, it is absolutely essential for understanding how a better world can be built post-pandemic. Individually the chapters address a wide range of pressing issues situated in context of European countries which the editors pull together analytically and theoretically in their overview chapter. Highly recommended reading.” Gill Kirton, Professor of Employment Relations, Queen Mary University of London, UK
