Gender inequality in political institutions remains a major social and political issue, especially in the case of executive bodies. Against the background of a scholarly literature that recognises women confront barriers in their careers, we take a fresh look at gender and leadership. We look at the backgrounds and experience of the individuals who have occupied leadership positions in the European Commission under three Commission Presidencies between 2004 and 2019. In a first step, we attempt to determine whether there are distinct, well-trodden routes to the positions of Commissioner and of Director General – the top administrative stratum in the organisation. In the second, we compare the pathways taken by men and women.

included an overview based on the contribution of Professor Neophytos Loizides, entitled Reintegration of Returnees: Exploring Complexities and Human Right Considerations.
