Constitutionalizing austerity, disciplining the household: masculine norms of competitiveness and the crisis of social reproduction in the Eurozone

There is no abstract, but this is a representative paragraph from the introduction:

'After a critical discussion of neoliberalism and the state and how masculine norms are inscribed within (supra)national institutions and (re)produce gendered hierarchies, the chapter then considers the Eurozone crisis across two sections. The first focuses on the rise of more authoritarian forms of governance through the Fiscal Compact, the so-called Six-pack legislation and the Euro-Plus Pact, and the gendered nature of this crisis response. The second concentrates on the variegated yet highly significant effects of these developments in two countries, discussing the intensified crisis of social reproduction and possible alternatives to the current politico-economic order. We focus on Spain and Ireland, because they show especially well the processes we seek to highlight. We conclude with reflections on the broader implications of our argument and suggestions for further research.'
