This course brings together 'development' and 'globalisation' literatures, with particular attention to women's experiences and gender relations. It begins with an analysis of 'women and development' and its subsequent manifestations. It pursues a gendered critique of international political economy, and intensifying globalisation processes. It then focuses on particular aspects of contemporary global political economy, including the feminisation of the global assembly line, labour migration, the international political economy of sex, and transnational political organising for women's and workers' rights. |
