POLITICS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE UNITED STATES, THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND GERMANY

"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 into the role of transnational movements against sexual harassment as well as into future efforts to implement the European Union Directive of 2002. It also illustrates what policy-makers and employers in the United States can learn from the European Union and its member states' alternative paths to gender equality."--Jacket.
