Description
Women's voices and experiences from around the world are brought to bear upon issues of globalization and democratization in this volume of strikingly original and diverse essays. From the Comfort Women of Japan to the Mexican maquiladoras, from the debt burdened nations of Africa to the 'new settler societies' of Oceania, the impact of globalizing forces and uneven democratization yields gender dislocations everywhere. This volume charts these trends with original research, first-hand interviews and surveys, and fresh theoretical perspectives. Gender regime change may be built on the understandings begun here.

About the contributors
Reviews
-
This volume provides a fresh take on the international and comparative politics literature. . . . The 13 chapters represent an almost breathtaking scope of regions and issues for the book's agenda, ranging from Oceania to Asian Indian immigrant women in the U.S. to household income in India.
Choice Reviews
-
This volume examines three key themes that have not been looked at together in such a comprehensive fashion before and adds to the growing literature of gender, globalization, and democratization.
International Feminist Journal of Politics
-
The editors of Gender, Globalization, and Democratization do an able job of placing the case-studies in perspective, emphasizing empirical analysis rather than concerted theory-building.
