The aim of the track is to advance contemporary thinking in the discipline of
equality and diversity management by bringing together international scholars
with an interest in disadvantaged and marginalized groups in a European and
international setting. We are interested in papers on equality and diversity
management from all areas of the world, but especially in papers highlighting
the European case. Consistent with the venue of EURAM 2011 (Tallinn, Estonia),
we are especially interested in the gendered, racialised and ethnic dynamics
prevalent in transitional country contexts. Within this track, we seek to
analyze varying socio-demographic, socio-cultural and geopolitical contexts and
their implications for work and organization processes including occupational
segregation, work-life balance, wage differentials or, more subtle exclusionary
practices such as gendered organizational cultures and the pre-eminence of
hegemonic masculinity within organizations.
Inequalities are related to a myriad of difference dimensions, including gender,
race, social-class, age, disability. This difference not only reinforces social
injustice, but also encourages exploitation. Current debates in the area of
gender, diversity and development management research include: social theory and
inequality, the extent to which globalization has facilitated the spread of
western ideas around feminism and justice, and what feminism means in diverse
social-cultural contexts, equality and diversity organization [practices;
legislative frameworks and government policy approaches to inequality; and the
impact of labour market changes on employment equality, particularly in the
context of EU enlargement.
We encourage contributions from scholars from a broad range of disciplines:
economics, management, HRM, psychology, development, public administration,
gender studies, sociology. We welcome studies of single country and comparative
research. We aim to rejuvenate critical debate of the gendered, racialised and
classed nature of organization systems. We encourage focus on private, public
sector, international organizations and NGO’s. As EURAM 2011 is taking place in
Estonia, we are especially interested in the gendered, racialised and ethnic
dynamics prevalent in transitional or/and post-socialist country contexts and
have secured a SI of Routledge Journal: International Journal of Public
Administration. Papers are invited that explore contemporary debates on gender
and equality in countries in Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and
Slovenia for Central Europe; Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for the Baltic
States; Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo Under UNSC 1244,
TFYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia for South-East Europe; Belarus,
Moldova, Russian Federation and Ukraine for the Western CIS; Armenia, Azerbaijan
and Georgia for the Caucasus; and Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for Central Asia, as well as China. We especially
welcome scholarly articles on gender, public administration, reform and
governance in post-socialist and transitional states. Movements from a communist
led economy to a liberal market system have had profound social effects and
impacted the dynamics of diversity, equality and inclusion in a myriad of ways.
Social services and public services have been withdrawn or radically altered and
are creating greater divides in everyday working conditions. We are keen to
attract either empirical papers or theoretical papers that examine new
governance regimes and public administration policy changes; social,
environment, employment and welfare policy agendas that tackle issues from a
gender or diversity perspective; and the changing roles of men and women and
family organization in a turbulent transition phase. This is an open call to
ensure integrity of highest academic standards and we anticipate high quality
submissions for EURAM participants for the SI:

cultural aspects of managing difference

This SI aims to advance theory and knowledge on gender and diversity management
in transitional and post-socialist states. Our aim is to unravel leading
research that examines the gendered, racialized and diverse issues of
comparative aspects of public administration, management and reform. While a
plethora of data exists on public management and administration in Western
economies, there is little that focuses on transitional and post socialist
states, and even less that critically examines the gendered dynamics and
consequences of post socialist reform, and the differential impact of new labour
processes and governance regimes on men and women.
Movements from communist-led economies to liberal market systems have had
profound gender and ethnic effects and impacted the dynamics of diversity,
equality and inclusion in a myriad of ways. Social services and public services
have been withdrawn or radically altered, influencing labour market structures;
environmental conditions, men and women’s roles in society; and reconfigured
family organization. We are keen to attract either empirical as well as
theoretical papers that examine new governance regimes and public administration
changes, social, employment, environment and welfare policy agendas that tackle
issues from a gender or diversity perspective.. Countries can include. Czech
Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia for Central Europe; Estonia,
Latvia and Lithuania for the Baltic States; Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo Under UNSC 1244, TFYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania
and Serbia for South-East Europe; Belarus, Moldova, Russian Federation and
Ukraine for the Western CIS; Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia for the Caucasus;
and Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for Central
Asia, as well as China.
Topics Can Include
• International labour codes and impact on transitional/post socialist
states employment and development
• Gender and equality public policy
• Gender aspects of one or more of environment, welfare, social and labour
public policy
• Gender mainstreaming, political representation and public policy
• Difference, race, ethnicity, diversity and culture, NGO’s and
development
• Gender and organization change in public administration
• Gender and diversity leadership in public management and administration
• Gender equality legislation, and national machineries of government
