Obiettivo The research objective of this project is to conduct an empirical analysis of three common hypotheses on the relations between individualization processes of globalization and the adjacent de-gendering of men and women. Do these processes generate a) very little resistance among men; b) conflict between men and women and the desire by men to revive patriarchy; or c) conflict between people identifying with individualizing Western forces and postcolonial peoples? The analysis makes intelligible men?s own interpretations of their disposition toward women, within a larger framework of the global circulation of narratives about gender and cultural collective identities. Using discourse analysis, the study is based on 40+ deep interviews with men in Sweden. The end products will be a book, journal articles and readily understandable materials for public dissemination and democratic debate. The professional reintegration objective of this project is ultimately that I obtain permanent employment at a Swedish political science department. This aim would be greatly supported by working at the Department of Political Science of Goteborg University, Sweden, as a Marie Curie fellow. These objectives both relate to the aims of the Specific Programme and the Work Programme in at least three ways. First, they contribute towards the aim of reversing the European 'brain drain? to the U.S. Second, they contribute to the aim of addressing the under-representation of women in research, which is stark in political science. Finally, they contribute to the aim of strengthening citizen participation in debates raised by scientific advances, specifically around questions of cultural diversity and gender equality.
