This book delves into the intricate realm of gender as a powerful tool for creating new boundaries within the European Union. It presents a comprehensive political analysis, drawing upon sociological surveys conducted by the author between 2008 and 2021. At the core of this work lies the urgent need for a profound understanding of the specific gender political technologies employed in ethnic and religious diasporas within the EU's borders. It emphasizes the critical importance of EU ruling elites grasping these technologies to prevent ideological collapse in their relations with diaspora political groups and the broader membership.

The book vividly showcases that an uncritical application of EU gender equality programs within diasporas can transform gender into a perilous political force, jeopardizing the very foundations of the European Union. Through meticulous research and analysis, the monograph offers valuable insights for political science researchers, legislators, and administrators who grapple with the political dimension of gender. It sheds light on the complex dynamics, challenges, and opportunities that arise when gender intersects with national, regional, and international contexts within the EU.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the complex interplay between gender, politics, and society in the European Union. It provides a rich tapestry of perspectives and offers valuable insights into the ongoing debates and discussions surrounding gender equality, diversity, and inclusion in the region. By exploring the intersections of gender, ethnicity, religion, and diaspora, this work contributes to a more inclusive and equitable society, fostering a better understanding of the diverse tapestry of human experiences within the EU.
