This study challenges the dominant tendency of civil society to
negate international trade as such. The authors argue that it is
necessary to frame differentiated trade rules based on levels of
economic development, and also to shift from subsidies to shore up
uncompetitive livelihoods to productivity-enhancing
investments.Most importantly, the book ends with a case for trade
unions, women's organizations and other civil society organizations
to imagine and create themselves as being global -- in order to
take up the challenge of strengthening global countervailing power
to capital.
In 2006, the Government of India promoted Aadhaar, a biometric
identification system, which has now reached 650 million people.
The aim of the scheme was to establish a biometric registry to
provide a unique identity to all individuals, women and men, in the
country. It was expected that this biometric identity would help
poor women and men establish their identities so as to access
various benefits provided by the government. In conjunction with
frugally engineered mini-ATMs (automated teller machines), it was
expected to promote financial inclusion. The book looks at the
gender dimension of Aadhaar, studying the (current and potential)
impact of the scheme especially on women and gender relationships
with the household, and on changing patriarchal social norms. This
volume explores: Would Aadhaar help poor women establish their
identity and, through that, secure their entitlements due in
various schemes of the government?
