Gender, Development, and Globalization is the leading primer on
global feminist economics and development. Lourdes Beneria, a
pioneer in the field of feminist economics, is joined in this
second edition by Gunseli Berik and Maria Floro to update the text
to reflect the major theoretical, empirical, and methodological
contributions and global developments in the last decade. Its
interdisciplinary investigation remains accessible to a broad
audience interested in an analytical treatment of the impact of
globalization processes on development and wellbeing in general and
on social and gender equality in particular. The revision will
continue to provide a wide-ranging discussion of the strategies and
policies that hold the most promise in promoting equitable and
sustainable development. The authors make the case for feminist
economics as a useful framework to address major contemporary
global challenges, such as inequalities between the global South
and North as well as within single countries; persistent poverty;
and increasing vulnerability to financial crises, food crises, and
climate change. The authors' approach is grounded in the
intellectual current of feminism and human development, drawing on
Amartya Sen's capability approach and focused on the importance of
the care economy, increasing pressures faced by women, and the
failures of neoliberal reforms to bring about sustainable
development, reduction in poverty, inequality, and vulnerability to
economic crisis.
