Towards a Gendered Political Economy (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Cook, J.; Waylen, G.; Roberts, J.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This collection sets out how a gendered approach to political economy can help us understand the inherently gendered structures that characterise our society, and provide the foundation for a truly interdisciplinary social science. It provides a comprehensive coverage of gendered political economy - what it is, where it is and, perhaps more importantly, how it should develop. The twelve chapters that make up this volume combine the development of a theoretical framework with empirical examples, which illustrate the core concerns of gendered political economy.
