Описание:

Gendered Commodity Chains is the first book to consider the fundamental role of gender in global commodity chains. It challenges long-held assumptions of global economic systems by identifying the crucial role social reproduction plays in production and by declaring the household as an important site of production. In affirming the importance of women's work in global production, this cutting-edge volume fills an important gender gap in the field of global commodity and value chain analysis.

With thirteen chapters by an international group of scholars from sociology, anthropology, economics, women's studies, and geography, this volume begins with an eye-opening feminist critique of existing commodity chain literature. Throughout its remaining five parts, Gendered Commodity Chains addresses ways women's work can be integrated into commodity chain research, the forms women's labor takes, threats to social reproduction, the impact of indigenous and peasant households on commodity chains, the rapidly expanding arenas of global carework and sex trafficking, and finally, opportunities for worker resistance. This broadly interdisciplinary volume provides conceptual and methodological guides for academics, graduate students, researchers, and activists interested in the gendered nature of commodity chains.

Описание: The ultimate objective of all economic efforts is human development which encompasses quality of life, the level of well-being and access to basic social services. The Fundamental Rights that Indias Constitution guarantees to every citizen include the right to life and the right to livelihood is inherent in the right to life. The root cause of social insecurity in India is poverty and that is largely due to lack of adequate or productive employment opportunities. The pattern of economic development in India since Independence in 1947 has left in its trail a variety of inequalities which have caused socio-politico tensions. While the economy has performed well in terms of growth rate of gross domestic product (GDP), its performance in terms of human development indicators has been unsatisfactory. Indias recent economic growth performance has, indeed, been creditable. However, such growth must make a demonstrable difference to the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable citizens. India has the potential and the means to secure a reasonable standard of living for all of its citizens. The socio-economically disadvantaged -- particularly women in rural areas -- are yet to benefit from development efforts. The present volume contains 12 well-researched papers -- authored by experts in the field -- which provide deep insights into the various aspects of human development in the context of social justice and women empowerment.

Описание: We are on the eve of the deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals, that were promised and pledged in the year 2000 by 189 nations of the world. It was envisaged to overcome extreme poverty and multiple deprivations existing in the society. With barely less than three years left to reach 2015, it would be interesting to study if there is a growing equality of opportunity between people and among nations. This is an issue that now dominates every discourse on development debate in the third millennium. The pace of development has been accompanied by rising disparities within nations and between nations. The most significant of these being gender disparity. Despite a relentless struggle to equalize opportunities between women and men, the issue remains an unfinished agenda and eludes the much desired change. This book could not have come at a more appropriate time. This publication consisting of contributions across Central Asia and South Asia adds to the slender collection of literature in understanding the present challenges and concerns that grip these regions in achieving the millennium development goals by 2015. It highlights sharp gender inequalities and the barriers to social and economic development that grip the region. This book will be a great source of information in helping scholars and researchers and also will contribute significantly in framing policy recommendations by the concerned countries.

Описание: First Published In 1982. Foreign Control Of Capital Is A Major Problem For Many Developing Countries And Can Lead To The Exercise Of A Form Of Colonial Control Whereby Capital Is Provided For Political Rather Than Economic Reasons. This Book Discusses The Implications Of This Phenomenon For Trade Theory And The Amount Of Pressure That Foreign Countries Can Exert. The Opening Chapter Examines The Themes Of De-Industrialisation, Of Stagnation After An Initial Spurt In Economic Activity, And The Premise That Inflows Of Capital Do Not Necessarily Generate Growth And Expansion. These Initial Discussions Are Developed In The Subsequent Chapters Where The Effects Of Foreign Ownership On The Host Country’S Economy And Trade Are Dealt With Fully. This Work Would Be Of Interest To Students Of Economics And Development.

Описание: Capital cities that are not the dominant economic centers of their nations - so-called `secondary capital cities` (SCCs) - tend to be overlooked in the fields of economic geography and political science. This book aims to address this gap by presenting the dynamics that influence policy and economic development in four in-depth case studies.
