A chapter in Gender Responsive Budgeting in a Southern European Context, 2026, pp 1-4 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This introductory chapter frames Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) as a transformative public finance approach that integrates gender equality into fiscal policy to address structural inequalities in Southern Europe. Building on global commitments such as the Beijing Platform for Action, CEDAW, and SDG 5.c.1, the chapter positions GRB as a key innovation in public financial management linking equity, efficiency, and accountability. The volume explores how GRB is institutionalized across governance levels and examines emerging methodological innovations including well-being budgeting and feminist democratic innovation practices. It addresses the evolving role of international organizations and development actors, particularly the EU and UN system, in shaping gender-responsive fiscal reforms in the region. The book fills an empirical gap by providing updated comparative evidence on GRB implementation in Southern Europe and the Western Balkans. Three conceptual pillars guide the analysis: gender-responsive budgeting, well-being budgeting, and feminist democratic innovation as complementary approaches to equitable public finance.
