Women and Gender Equity in Development Theory and Practice: Institutions, Resources, and Mobilization

"This book begins with a very important question: is there a crisis in the gender and development field despite its large expansion and growing complexity? The different contributors address this question, directly or indirectly, from an interdisciplinary perspective. From the analysis of changing institutions to the control of resources, political participation, gender mainstreaming, and many other relevant themes, the book makes an excellent contribution to the historical analysis of the field and its current developments and tensions. There is much food for thought here."-Lourdes BenerÍa, author ofGender, Development, and Globalization: Economics as if All People MatteredWomen and Gender Equity in Development Theory and Practice: Institutions, Resources, and Mobilization, was published 2006 under ISBN 9780822337003 and ISBN 0822337002.
