- 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
- Addresses how sexual practices and identities are imagined and regulated through development discourses and within institutions of global governance, such as the World Bank. The argument is made that the so called development industry plays a central role in constructing people’s sexual lives, access to citizenship, and struggles for livelihood. Despite its insistence on viewing sexuality as basically outside the realm of economic modernization and anti-poverty programs, the authors argue that there is a heterosexual bias.

- Description
- Emily Greene Balch was an important Progressive Era reformer and advocate for world peace. Balch served as a professor of economics and sociology at Wellesley College for twenty years until her opposition to World War I resulted with the board of trustees to refusing to renew her contract. Afterwards, Balch continued to emphasize the importance of international institutions for preventing and reconciling conflicts. She was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1946 for her efforts in cofounding and leading the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). In tracing Balch's work at Wellesley, for the WILPF, and for other peace movements, Gwinn illuminates Balch's ideas on negotiated peace, internationalism, global citizenship, and diversity while providing pointed insight into her multifaceted career, philosophy, and temperament. Detailing Balch's academic research on Slavic immigration and her arguments for greater cultural and monetary cohesion in Europe, Gwinn shows how Balch's scholarship and teaching reflected her philosophical development.

- Description
- This book analyzes the ‘strategic silence’ about gender in fiscal and monetary policy, and financial regulation. This silence reflects a set of assumptions that the key instruments of financial governance are gender-neutral. .Its primary focus is on macroeconomic policies (fiscal and monetary) and financial governance from a feminist perspective. The book examines both the transformations in the governance of finance that predate the financial crisis, as well as the crisis itself. The transformations increasingly involved private as well as public forms of power, along with institutions of state and civil society, operating at the local, national, regional and global levels. An important aspect of these transformations has been the creation of policy rules that limit the discretion of national policy makers with respect to fiscal, monetary, and financial sector policies. These policy rules tend to have inscribed in them a series of biases that have gender outcomes.

- Description
- The book comprises four parts: global discourses on gender and water: gendered water in times and places: gendered cultures and economies of water: and representations and agency of women in water. The twenty-two chapters present an array of case studies on gender and water by an international group of experts who point to the need of gender equity in water cultures, show how women's roles in water use remain hidden and how their water priorities are neglected in prevailing discourses of gender roles.
