Book Description
Globalization creates growth without jobs in the North, structural adjustment in the South, privatization in the East and the dismantling of states everywhere. The author of this extraordinary book uses a mixture of case studies, examples and quotations to illustrate some hard facts. She looks at women across the world to show how their lives have been turned upside down, by industrialization in the South and a return to homeworking in the North. From New York to Phnom Penh, from Moscow to Dakar, we see the devastating effects of the unfettered power of transnational corporations on women's lives.

Book Description
The chapters in this book are printed through being selected from 48 papers presented at "2nd International Congress on Women and Politics in a Global World" held "online" platform on December 25-26, 2020 and double blind peer review process. The papers presented at the congress in Turkish or English were included in the book in the language in which they were presented. COVID-19 pandemic exposed our deepest vulnerabilities and greatest power. In an interconnected world, we have seen how an infectious disease spreads across borders, cities and streets at devastating speed. We were able to run a virtual conference that we designed it physically before the pandemic. Thus, the authors of the chapters only have to know each other in a virtual environment and come together in this book. Bu kitapta yer alan kitap bölümleri, 25-26 Aralık 2020 tarihlerinde "online" platformda gerçekleşen "2. Uluslararası Küresel Dünyada Kadın ve Siyaset Kongresi"nde sunulan 48 bildiri içinden seçilerek ve çift "kör hakem" sürecinden geçirilerek basılmıştır. Kongrede Türkçe veya İngilizce dillerinde sunulan bildiriler, sunuldukları dilde kitapta yer almışlardır. COVID-19 salgını, en derin güvenlik açıklarımızı ve en büyük güçlerimizi ortaya çıkardı. Birbiriyle bağlantılı bir dünyada, bulaşıcı bir hastalığın nasıl yıkıcı bir hızla sınırlara, şehirlere ve caddelere yayıldığını gördük. Bu ortam öncesinde fiziksel olarak tasarladığımız konferans deneyimini sanal ortamda gerçekleştirmeyi, sunmayı başardık. Böylece kitap bölümü yazarları birbirlerini sadece sanal ortamda birbirlerini tanıyıp bu kitapta buluşmuş oldular.

Book Description
When we look at world politics through a different set of lenses—ones that reveal how the power of gender blinds us to the presence of women in international affairs—we begin to see what lies below the surface of the interstate power exchanges called international relations. Some women wield traditional international power as heads of state. There are also women in positions of less visible state and nonstate power, many of whom seek a more equal and just global order. And there are billions of women who bear, feed, clothe, and care for the world—whether as mothers, farmers, textile workers, electronics assemblers—yet have no formal political power.Global Gender Issues connects the inequalities between women and men with the “world politics” of power, security, economy, and ecology. Through history, visual imagery, theoretical analysis, and other narrative techniques, V. Spike Peterson and Anne Sisson Runyan alert us to gendered differences of power, violence, labor, and resources. In doing so, they suggest linkages between and among so-called women's issues and such world political matters as wars of secession, arms proliferation, global economic recession, and environmental degradation. At the same time, the authors hold out for us a clearly articulated, undogmatic hope for redefining and reorganizing gender relations and international relations as we begin to embrace difference, demand equality, and develop new standards of power and progress.

Book Description
We are still only beginning to understand the increasingly complex set of interdependencies among gender, health and globalization. This book brings together a diverse group of distinguished scholars and activists to explore the new risks and freedoms for men and women in a global society and their health determinants. They map the gendered impact of these processes and present a health landscape that takes us beyond nation states into trans-border flows of capital, people, goods and services. Each chapter begins with a global analysis of specific trends followed by two 'In Perspective' pieces by authors from contrasting disciplines and geographies.

Book Description
This volume analyses approaches to economic and political change and propose ways of ensuring that ideas are translated into concrete actions. The aim is to re-politicise the gender and development community with a solutions-oriented approach which looks at globalisation through women's eyes, and finds energising ideas.
