The Strategic Silence

By Isabella Bakker

Book Overview

Applying a gender-aware analysis to macroeconomics, this book on restructuring and adjustment presents a global picture, highlighting the similarities and contradictions in gender relations arising out of the restructuring process. The contributors consider macroeconomic methods and policies in order to propose elements of a more gender-aware economics. Whilst some fall within the neo-classical framework, others suggest an epistemological break with the homogenizing thrust of Western economism towards multiple objective worlds, each with their own validity. Based on case studies from North and South, the book reflects on the state, economy and household within the broader context of concrete methodological observations.
