Summary:

Written by leading authorities from Europe, the Americas and Asia, this path-breaking work develops an innovative and original theorization of global political economy. While most approaches theorize global political economy from the perspectives of power and production or states and markets, this work argues that what feminists call social reproduction is a more basic framework, upon which most forms of power and production, and states and markets, must necessarily rest.

Notes:

Studies inspired by a series of meetings, beginning with the conference "Feminist Perspectives on the Paradoxes of Globalization," sponsored by the Heinrich Böll Stiftung in Berlin on November 3-5, 1999, and followed up finally by "Gender, Economy and Human Security," a conference held in Toronto at York University in October 2001.
