Summary/Abstract: The volume advances an interdisciplinary sociological and geopolitical exploration of the transnational networks of circulation of feminist ideas and practices as a common ground for Eastern and Western women involved in knowledge production on “gender.” The main aim is to unravel the intricate national and international dynamics of how feminist thought gets integrated into the civic and educational platforms of ex-socialist countries. Moreover, the study approaches feminism and “gender” as liberalization and democratization tools specific to a neoliberal world, examining their institutionalization through philanthropic funding.
