The empowerment of women is a broadly endorsed strategy for solving
a host of difficult problems, from child poverty to gender violence
to international development. The seventeen international scholars
in this multi-disciplinary volume offer thoughtful critiques of the
notion of empowerment based on their studies in twenty countries in
all regions of the world. The comparative introduction places
concepts of empowerment in the context of models of the market and
of community, showing how contradictions in these models as they
are enacted on the ground provide both spaces and constraints for
women. The chapters consider opportunities for women in the context
of globalization, resurgent nationalism and politicized religion,
cultures of masculinity, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa. They
show how initiatives at national or global levels are transformed
by local cultures and power structures, and demonstrate the
fruitfulness of tensions between universal values of human rights
and contextualized understandings. This landmark,
multi-disciplinary collection of original studies by distinguished
international feminist scholars will be an essential addition to
the fields of Political Science, Women's Studies, Economics,
Sociology, International Development, and Environmental Studies.
