Gender mainstreaming, affirmative action and diversity
Carol Bacchi 한국여성정책연구원(구 한국여성개발원) 2010 GSPR(Gender Studies and Policy Review) Vol.3 No.-
This paper addresses two questions. First, how is it that gender mainstreaming at times comes to replace women-specific policies (affirmative action) and Women's Policy units (focal points) when prominent spokespeople associated with its development state explicitly that this should not happen (Hannan 2008: 37)? Second, how do concerns for cross-cutting processes of social subordination, captured in the shorthand terms 'diversity' or 'intersectionality', come, at times, to mean a reduction in attention to 'women's issues' when that was never the objective' A third underlying question is - what can those committed to egalitarian politics do about these unexpected and untoward developments' The paper makes the case that it is important to pay attention to the meanings imparted to key concepts, including gender mainstreaming, affirmative action and diversity. It offers a methodology for analysing concepts called 'what's the problem represented to be?'(Bacchi 1999; 2009), which encourages the identification of underlying presuppOSitions in concepts and their accompanying effects. As an example, returning to the questions posed at the outset, conceptualising affirmative action as 'special assistance' or 'preferential treatment' for 'disadvantaged' women, which is the dominant representation of the reform, helps explain how gender mainstreaming, in some incarnations, comes to displace it. So too particular versions of 'diversity', e.g. as something located within individuals or groups, produces the discursive practice of 'commatisation' (O'Brien 1984). With commatisation, the policy emphasis goes onto the he 'disadvantages' of 'women (comma) blacks (comma) gays (comma). .' etc., etc. and leaves the advantages available to the unspoken norm (white, male, straight, etc) hidden from view (Eveline, 1994).The paper uses these examples, among others, to illustrate that how 'problems'are conceptualised matters in terms of political outcomes and to reflect on the political repercussions of this observation - what to do when concepts 'let us down'.

Challenging the Displacement of Affirmative Action by Gender Mainstreaming
Bacchi, Carol Ewha Womans University Press 2009 Asian Journal of Women's Studies(AJWS) Vol.15 No.4
In some places where gender mainstreaming is introduced, affirmative action is either reduced or eliminated. This paper asks how this happens. It argues that reform initiatives like gender mainstreaming and affirmative action are best thought of as fields of contestation where the meanings attached to key terms play a significant role in outcomes. That is, the ways in which affirmative action and gender mainstreaming are conceptualized inevitably affects what is done or not done, and how those affected think about themselves and their place in the world. Hence, it is necessary to pay attention to the contested meanings of concepts and to intervene to shape them in ways conducive to desired political objectives.
