Through the lens of ‘shared and equal parenting’, DEMFAM studies the transformation of gender and the family in contemporary global history. First, it studies a shift from hierarchical to egalitarian conceptions of family relations, or a democratisation of the family. This entails the equalisation of parental rights within and outside the domain of heterosexual marriages, which coincided with the harmonisation of the rights of marital and non-marital children. The emergence of post-familial care arrangements, secondly, led to a denser regulation, or juridification of co-parenting. Inner-familial power shifts were accompanied by a reconfiguration of family-state relations. The project investigates the development of judicial and extra-judicial institutions (including family courts, social work interventions, and mediation agencies) which aimed to promote parental cooperation and safeguard child welfare in familial conflict situations. Finally, it shows how parental rights assumed centre stage in the twenty-first century’s ‘gender wars’, or the politicisation of gender, sexuality, and the family in struggles over national and religious identity, liberalism, and democracy.DEMFAM analyses these (limited and contradictory) transformative processes across different political-economic and legal systems within a shared global environment. The project develops a social history of law reform on different political scales to understand global dynamics of divergence and convergence in the transformation of gender and the family. It combines the analysis of transnational knowledge circulation (including policy transfer, civil society mobilisation, and scientific expertise) with the comparative study of family change in Western Europe (FRG, UK), Central Eastern Europe (the GDR, Poland), and South Asia (India). Integrating research on post-colonial legal pluralism, and on (post-)socialist gender and family politics, DEMFAM opens new horizons for global gender history.
