The present thesis treats the issue of gender equality in Macedonia during the period of transition
from the socialist system to the one of parliamentary democracy. The main aim is to mainstream the
gender perspective in the analysis of the transitional policies through the examination of the basic
citizenship rights to which citizens are entitled and by the means of the evaluation of their
capabilities to exercise these rights. Gender equality, as one of the main strongholds of the concept
of human development is measured through the application of nine gender relevant capabilities in a
Case study conducted within selected municipalities in the country. Through the analysis of the
Macedonian constitutional and legal framework and the assessment of gender based inequalities,
the research questions the need for the enactment of a process of engendering of citizenship, which
would integrate gender based differences, contemplate the private sphere of citizens lives and
pledge participation in the political life of the country. The thesis, finally, analyses the gender
equality strategy of the Macedonian government with the purpose to evaluate whether it is context
based, i.e. it tackles the main fields where inequalities emerge and in this context whether it
envisages a process of engendering of citizenship.
