Analyzing a range of ideas from biological, evolutionary and anthropological theories to a variety of feminist, psychoanalytic, poststructuralist and constructivist discourses, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the problematics of gender and power in architectural and urban design. Topics range from conceptions of postulated matriarchal architecture in Old Europe to contemporary technologies of control; from the mechanisms of gaze to architectural performatives; from the under-representation of women in the planning profession to the integration of gender issues to the curriculum. The particular strengths of the book lie in its inclusiveness and critical analysis. It is not a partisan defence of feminism or any other theory, but a critical introduction to the issues relating to gender. Moreover, the conclusions reach beyond a narrow gender studies perspective to social and ethical considerations that are unavoidable in any responsible architectural or urbanistic practice. With its broad range and balanced analysis of different theories, the book is suitable as an overview of gender studies in architecture and useful for any designer who is concerned with the social effects of the built environment.

The presence of UK nationals on the staff of the EU institutions is a potential source of UK influence in the EU. But the UK faces a serious problem with respect to its declining representation among EU staff. In relation to its share of the EU's population (12.5%), the UK remains significantly under-represented among the staff of the major EU institutions, and its presence continues to shrink. The number of UK nationals on the staff of the European Commission has fallen by 24% in seven years, and now stands at 4.6% of the total. In the increasingly-powerful European Parliament, the UK's share of administrator-grade staff has fallen from 6.2% to 5.8% since 2010; and in the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU the UK's share of administrator-grade staff fell from 4.8% to 4.3% over the same period. The Committee welcomes signs that more UK nationals are becoming interested in embarking on careers as permanent EU officials. Yet the numbers of UK candidates for the entrance exam remain too low (2.4% of the total in 2012) to compensate for the numbers of UK retirees at senior levels. The report welcomes the creation of an EU Staffing Unit in the FCO with a remit to increase secondments of UK civil servants into the EU institutions. The FCO should report annually to Parliament on the numbers of UK nationals working for the main EU institutions, and the representation and performance of UK nationals in the EU staff entrance competition (the concours).
