The Strategic Silence

Herausgeber: Bakker, Isabella

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Applying a gender-aware analysis to macroeconomics, this book on restructuring and adjustment presents a global picture. It highlights the similarities and contradictions in gender relations arising out of the restructuring process.

---

Most treatments of economic change harbour a conceptual silence: the refusal to recognise that global restructuring is occurring on a gendered terrain. This book's unique contribution to the literature on restructuring and adjustment lies in its application of feminist scholarship to macroeconomics. The contributors focus on these conceptual silences, examining macroeconomic methods and policies in order to propose new research strategies to deliver a more gender-aware economics.
