TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - The emergence of contrasting domestic violence regimes in post-communist Europe JO - Policy and politics A1 - Johnson, Janet Elise A1 - Brunell, Laura SP - 575 EP - 595 VL - 34 IS - 4 N2 - Between the end of socialism and the 2004 European Union enlargement, options for women in Central and Eastern Europe seeking to overcome domestic violence grew noticeably. Because these options include both social movement organisations and the state, we adopt what we call a 'domestic violence regime' approach, comparing 11 countries and exploring four - Poland, Russia, Slovakia and Armenia - in more depth. Considering the impact of foreign intervention in encouraging and complicating these reforms, the conclusion draws implications for European policy makers concerned with gender equality.
