Kenneth A. Loparo & Kenneth A. Loparo 
Gender Equality Norms in Regional Governance 
Transnational Dynamics in Europe, South America and Southern Africa

This book analyses the diffusion of norms concerning gender-based violence and gender mainstreaming of aid and trade between the EU, South America and Southern Africa. Norm diffusion is conceptualized as a truly multidirectional and polycentric process, shaped by regional governance and resulting in new geometries of transnational activism.
