SUMMARY:LEGITIMULT Panel Discussion: Legitimate Crisis Governance for the Future
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhile the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that governments faced challenges to implement effective and legitimate solutions\, it also taught us lessons that will allow us to be better prepared for the future -if only we take stock-. To this end\, the LEGITIMULT research project analyses the impact and effectiveness of the measures taken during the COVID-19 crisis on the democratic functioning of 31 European countries.  \nWe cordially invite you to the “LEGITIMULT: Legitimate crisis governance for the future” webinar\, where we will provide policy makers\, civil society\, and academics a glimpse into the project and the contribution it hopes to make\, including tools it aims to develop to have not only effective responses to future crises\, but also measures that fundamentally respect and guarantee basic human rights and freedoms.  \nRegister Today!\nProgram\nPresentation and welcome remarks \nIntroduction to LEGITIMULT (Francisco Javier Romero Caro\, EURAC Research) \nPanel discussion featuring… \n\nSusana Coroado\, University of Antwerp\nBilal Hassan\, University of Bergen\nSoeren Keil\, University of Fribourg\nMario Kölling\, Universidad de Educación a Distancia\nMitja Zagar\, Institute for Ethnic Studies\nModerator: Miguel Angel Lara Otaola\, International IDEA\n\nQuestions and answers

SUMMARY:Roundtable Discussion “Federalism and Gender Equality”
DESCRIPTION:Gender inequality is a significant impediment in the ability of states to achieve more just\, equal\, and inclusive societies. Advancing gender equality remains a topic of immediate concern and attention for governments around the world. Challenges that women and other gender minorities face in political participation and representation\, ensuring equal opportunity\, and garnering support and respect in positions of leadership at all levels of society and government remain pressing concerns for countries committed to addressing fundamental structural issues that contribute to continued inequality and discrimination. \nGovernance structures\, processes\, institutions matter in efforts to advance gender equality. Given the significance of this issue\, examining the role that federal and decentralized governance structures can play in creating conditions in which gender equality can be advanced or inhibited is of vital importance. While various governance structures offer both advantages and disadvantages when it comes to advancing gender equality\, research indicates that some of the features and mechanisms that exist within federal and decentralized systems can provide opportunities for enhancing women’s rights and advancing gender equality that other systems do not (Forster\, 2020). These include the capacity to enact legislation more favourable to women at subnational level; fostering innovation and policy transfer in gender equality initiatives; and the multiple points of access for women’s political participation (Forster\, 2020). \nTo discuss these important dynamics\, this roundtable will hear from three experts on gender equality and governance in North America\, South Asia\, and the Middle East and North Africa both generally and in the context of constitutional/legal frameworks and how these structures work in practice in relation to advancing or inhibiting gender equality initiatives. \nModerator: \nProf. Marcelo Jenny University of Innsbruck \nSpeakers: \nProf. Erin Delaney Northwestern University \nMs. Tala Khrais Forum of Federations\, Country Director Jordan \nProf. Rekha Saxena University of Delhi\, India
