Synopsis

With Cold War politics lost as the organizing principle behind international politics, development (and its related buzzwords of globalization and democratization) has become the most important policy goal of every international organization. This study highlights the ways in which feminist analysis has contributed to a richer understanding of international development and globalization. There is an underside (and a human side) to development and feminism has made inroads into the highly technical debates and frothy prophecies by examining what the future really holds for the people who will live it. Beneria presents an interdisciplinary and global perspective, including a view of development that relates to high and low income countries. This book combines theoretical, empirical and policy/action perspectives and discusses cutting-edge debates around gender and development, paid/unpaid work, gender and globalization, economic restructuring and feminist economics.
