Gender, Globalization, & Democratization

Women's voices and experiences from around the world are brought to bear upon issues of globalization and democratization in this volume of strikingly original and diverse essays.

From the Comfort Women of Japan to the Mexican maquiladoras, from the debt burdened nations of Africa to the 'new settler societies' of Oceania, the impact of globalizing forces and uneven democratization yields gender dislocations everywhere.

This volume charts these trends with original research, first-hand interviews and surveys, and fresh theoretical perspectives.

Gender regime change may be built on the understandings begun here.
