Abstract
IN ENGLISH: In both Socialist Yugoslavia and the European Union, the establishment of women’s rights can be determined as an integral part of supranation-building. While bearing in mind the long and unbroken tradition of patriarchy, both entities, partially under the influence of feminist theory and practice, have integrated the fight for women’s rights into their political agendas, using them as an identity tool in establishing a clear distinction from the opposed political, economic and socio-cultural systems. Imposed from the above, the introduction of gender equality policies and legislation to many of their (nation) states came as a shock therapy, challenging existing traditional cultural patterns and norms while making the results uneven and fragile. Women’s rights policies were, especially in the beginning, primarily economic in nature, concentrating on the inadequate position of women in the labor market and ignoring the structural reasons behind inequality. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Kako u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji tako i u Europskoj uniji, uspostava ženskih prava može se odrediti sastavnim dijelom nadnacionalne izgradnje. Imajući na umu dugu i neprekinutu tradiciju patrijarhata, oba entiteta, djelomice pod utjecajem feminističke teorije i prakse, integrirali su borbu za prava žena u svoje političke programe, koristeći ih kao identitetski alat u uspostavljanju jasne razlike s obzirom na suprotstavljene političke, ekonomske i socio-kulturne sustave. Nametnuto odozgo, uvođenje politike ravnopravnosti spolova i pratećeg zakonodavstva za mnoge njihove (nacionalne) države predstavljalo je šok terapiju, dovodeći u pitanje postojeće tradicionalne kulturne obrasce i norme, dok je rezultate činilo neujednačenima i krhkima. Politike ženskih prava bile su, osobito u početku, primarno ekonomske prirode, koncentrirane na neadekvatan položaj žena na tržištu rada te ignorirajući strukturne razloge iza nejednakosti.
