Abstract

This article considers the adoption and implementation of gender equality law following the 2004 enlargement of the European Union that incorporated a number of Eastern Europe countries. It addresses the question of how effective ‘soft' coordination strategies – such as, for instance, the Open Method of Coordination (OMC) and gender mainstreaming – can be in helping Central Eastern European Countries (CEECs) to fully enforce gender equality legislation at all levels of policymaking.
