Seeking to extend our understanding of the contemporary global
political economy, this book provides an important and original
introduction to the current theoretical debates about social
reproduction and argues for the necessity of linking social
reproduction to specific contexts of power and production. It
illustrates the analytic value of the concept of social
reproduction through a series of case studies that examine the
implications of how labor power is reproduced and how lives outside
of work are lived. The issues examined in countries including the
Ukraine, Chile, Spain, Nepal, India and Indonesia, consist of:
Human trafficking and sex work Women and work Migration, labor and
gender inequality Micro-credit programs and investing in women
Health, biological reproduction and assisted reproductive
technologies The book lends a unique perspective to the
understandings of transformation in the global political economy
precisely because of its simultaneous focus on the caring and
provisioning of the everyday and its relationships to policies and
decisions made at the national and international levels of both
formal and informal institutions. With its multi-disciplinary
approach, this book will be indispensable to students and scholars
of International Political Economy, Development Studies, Gender or
Women's Studies, International Studies, Globalization and
International Relations.

This issue addresses how laborers within intimate industries-those
who do interpersonal work that tends to the sexual, bodily, health,
hygiene, or care needs of individuals-are shaping Asia's growing
role in the global economy. The contributors investigate how
intimate industries support relational connections for consumers
while disrupting laborers' relationships, as in the case of
migrants who perform intimate labor away from their families and
communities of origin. The articles collected here include
examinations of such trade-offs and their complex meanings and
implications for the workers. The authors explore these social
processes through the lens of industries that organize, enable, or
delimit the trade in domestic labor, marriage migration,
companionship and romance, sex work, pornographic performance,
surrogate mothering and ova donation, and cosmetics sales. This
issue puts people, as embodied subjects, back into narratives of
economic change and offers a perspective on globalization from
below. Contributors: Daniele Belanger, Hae Yeon Choo, Nicole
