Recent years have seen a distinctive transformation in EU economic governance, including the introduction of a regime of oversight and recommendation as well as the establishment of new policymaking, oversight and expert institutions at both the European and member state levels. These changes raise questions about legal and political accountability, and about the current state of integration. Debates over the political nature of contemporary economic governance have, thus far, ignored the role that the politics of gender may be playing in constructing and legitimising this regime. While much research has documented the gendered impacts of this regime, there remains a gap in the literature concerning how gender influences the regime itself. This article addresses this gap by exploring two ways in which gender politics have shaped and legitimised the new regime. First, it explores the gendered nature of economic expertise within EU economic governance. Secondly, it explores the framing of the economic crisis, and show how the narratives of the crisis helped to create this gendered regime. The article explores the gendered nature of the process of seeking legitimacy in economic policy, and so the analysis helps to deepen the understanding of the politics behind economic policy more broadly.

欧洲经济治理专业知识：女性主义分析

近年来，欧盟经济治理发生了独特的转变，包括引入监督和建议制度，以及在欧洲和成员国层面建立新的决策、监督和专家机构。这些变化引发了有关法律和政治责任以及当前整合状态的问题。迄今为止，关于当代经济治理的政治性质的辩论忽视了性别政治在构建和合法化这一制度中可能发挥的作用。虽然许多研究记录了该制度的性别影响，但关于性别如何影响该制度本身的文献仍然存在空白。本文通过探讨性别政治塑造新政权并使之合法化的两种方式来解决这一差距。首先，它探讨了欧盟经济治理中经济专业知识的性别性质。其次，它探讨了经济危机的框架，并展示了危机的叙述如何帮助创建了这种性别化的政权。本文探讨了在经济政策中寻求合法性的过程的性别本质，因此该分析有助于更广泛地加深对经济政策背后的政治的理解。
