- Description
- This edition provides an introduction to gender and development issues in the developing world and in the transition countries of Eastern and Central Europe. The book includes discussions on changes in theoretical approaches, gender complexities and the Millennium Development Goals: social and biological reproduction and variation in education and access to housing: differences in health and violence at major life stages for women and men and natural disasters and gender roles in rural and urban areas. The text is particularly strong on environmental aspects and builds on this to consider the effects of climate change and declining natural resources illustrated by a case study of changing gender roles in fishing in India. There is also enhanced coverage of topics such as global trade, sport as a development tool, masculinities, and sustainable agriculture. Maps, statistics, references and boxed case studies have been updated throughout and their coverage widened.
