- Description
- This volume provides a timely intervention into discussions about the boundaries, practices and nature of the post-liberalization state. It suggests that an understanding of economic policies, the corresponding rise of socio-economic inequality and the possibilities for change requires an in-depth reconceptualization.

- Description
- What was the role of women’s networks in shaping ILO policies and what were the gendered meanings of international labour law in a world of uneven and unequal development? This book explores issues like equal remuneration, home-based labour, CSW and social welfare internationally. It scrutinizes the impact of both power relations and global feminisms on the making of global labour policies in a world shaped by colonialism, the Cold War and post-colonial inequality. It charts the disparate advancement of gender equity, highlighting the significant role of women experts and activists in the process.

- Description
- At a United Nations conference in 1995, 189 governments adopted the Beijing Platform for Action, an international agenda for women's equality and a statement of women's rights as human rights. Nevertheless, violations against women occur unabated despite widespread commitments internationally to draw increased attention to women's experiences. This volume contributes to the discussion of why women's human rights warrants increased focus in the context of globalization and how psychology can provide the currently missing, but necessary, links between transnational feminism and the discourse on women's human rights and neoliberalism.

- Description
- The book addresses the challenges faced by women on the two shores of the Mediterranean. While in the European Union’s Mediterranean countries inequality is mostly linked to the social sphere and in particular refers to labour market dynamics, in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) area the social and private spheres are blended and cultural and religious factors have a great impact on women autonomy and opportunities beyond the family perimeter. The chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of the Journal of the Balkans and Near Eastern Studies.

- Description
- As globalization intensifies, people’s mobility is increasingly conditioned by intimacy, ranging from love, desire, and sexual liaisons to broader family, kinship, and conjugal matters. This book explores the entanglement of mobility and intimacy in various configurations throughout the world. It argues that rather than being distinct and unrelated phenomena, intimacy-related mobilities constitute variations of cross-border movements shaped by issues of gender, kinship, race, and sexuality, as well as local and global powers and border restrictions in a disparate world.
