| Description | The authors survey population policies from key countries on five continents to provide a global perspective. Regardless of the type of government or its cultural history, many of these countries have developed similar policies to control their populations and attempt to combat social problems such as poverty and hunger. However, the common denominator is that states have used women's bodies as a political resource. This book illustrates how countries have developed their strategies in response to goals driven by the United Nations and the United States. Due to fears of a post-World War II 'population bomb' and uncertainty of how to deal with the world's poor after the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union led the charge among nations to devise strategies to control their populations, but in different ways. The U.S. and some European countries pressed the poor and ethnic minorities to limit reproduction. China's 'one child' policy targeted all ranks of society, while Soviet women were under surveillance through state-planned services such as medical care and commodity distribution to detect pregnancy. |
