This revised and updated third edition of Gender and Development
provides a concise, accessible introduction to gender and
development issues in the developing world and in the transition
countries of Eastern and Central Europe. The nine chapters include
discussions on: changes in theoretical approaches, gender
complexities and the Sustainable Development Goals; social and
biological reproduction including changing attitudes to family
planning; variation in education and access to housing; differences
in health and violence at major life stages for women and men;
natural disasters, climate change and declining natural resources;
and gender roles in rural and urban areas. There is also enhanced
coverage of topics such as global trade, sport as a development
tool, masculinities and sustainable agriculture. Maps and
statistics have been updated throughout and their coverage widened.
New case studies have been added on Bangladesh, violence in Peru
and India, and halal tourism and garbage collection in the
Maldives. The book features student-friendly items such as chapter
learning objectives, discussion questions and annotated guides to
further reading and websites. The text is enlivened throughout with
examples and case studies drawn from the author's worldwide field
research and consultancies with international development agencies
over four decades and her experience of teaching the topic to
undergraduates and postgraduates in many countries. Gender and
Development is the only broad-based introduction to the topic
written specifically for a student audience. It will be an
essential text for a variety of courses on development, women's
studies, sociology, anthropology and geography.
