It also offers reflections on state, economy and household relations based on research and case studies from Canada, Indonesia, Turkey, Mexico, Iran, and Chile.
Synopsis
Most treatments of economic change harbour a conceptual silence: the refusal to recognise that global restructuring is occurring on a gendered terrain.
This book's unique contribution to the literature on restructuring and adjustment lies in its application of feminist scholarship to macroeconomics.
The contributors focus on these conceptual silences, examining macroeconomic methods and policies in order to propose new research strategies to deliver a more gender-aware economics.
