Sexual harassment, in particular in the workplace, is a controversial topic which often makes headline news. What accounts for the cross-national variation in laws, employer policies, and implementation of policies dealing with sexual harassment in the workplace? Why was the United States on the forefront of policy and legal solutions, and how did this affect politicization of sexual harassment in the European Union and its member states? Exploring the way sexual harassment has become a global issue, Kathrin Zippel draws on theories of comparative feminist policy, gender and welfare state regimes, and social movements to explore the distinct paths that the United States, the European Union and its member states, specifically Germany, have embarked on to address the issue. This comparison provides invaluable insights on the role of transnational movements in combatting sexual harassment, and on future efforts to implement the European Union Directive of 2002.

Met een koffer vol vibrators toog Shereen El Feki, presentatrice van Al Jazeera English, naar Egypte en andere Arabische landen om veranderingen in de seksuele mores te onderzoeken. Zou de Arabische lente ook een bloei in het seksuele leven hebben veroorzaakt? Meer dan negentig procent van de vrouwen onder de vijftig in Egypte is echter genitaal verminkt; vrouwelijke seksualiteit staat in de islamitische wereld gelijk aan nymfomanie die de samenleving ontwricht. In De akker en de mantel laat Hafid Bouazza zien dat de rigide mannelijke norm nog altijd toonaangevend is binnen de islam, ook bij ons. Hij hekelt de politiek correcte opstelling van westerse intellectuelen, die de bevrijding van islamitische vrouwen frustreert, en hij toont de belangrijke rol aan die het Westen heeft gespeeld in de opkomst van het Arabische feminisme.

Sara R. Farris examines the demands for women's rights from an unlikely collection of right-wing nationalist political parties, neoliberals, and some feminist theorists and policy makers. Focusing on contemporary France, Italy, and the Netherlands, Farris labels this exploitation and co-optation of feminist themes by anti-Islam and xenophobic campaigns as "femonationalism." She shows that by characterizing Muslim males as dangerous to western societies and as oppressors of women, and by emphasizing the need to rescue Muslim and migrant women, these groups use gender equality to justify their racist rhetoric and policies. This practice also serves an economic function. Farris analyzes how neoliberal civic integration policies and feminist groups funnel Muslim and non-western migrant women into the segregating domestic and caregiving industries, all the while claiming to promote their emancipation. In the Name of Women's Rights documents the links between racism, feminism, and the ways in which non-western women are instrumentalized for a variety of political and economic purposes.
