25/3/19Gender and Global Politics
Globalisation, development and gender:
Need for coalitions of women (and men) in support for a more progressive global
vision?
Importance of gender perspectives for making sense of North-south inequalities
Globalisation…theories and waves
1. Hyperglobalist
2. Sceptic
3. Transformationalist
Hyperglobalist account:
MNCs/TNCs have more power than states
Moving behind a ‘westphalian’ understanding of global politics
2 broad camps within hyperglobalists – liberals saying it’s a good thing and Marxists
saying it is problematic
economistic perspective
sceptics account:
reactions against the exaggerate claims of the hyperglobalists
nation-state remains a powerful actor in the international system, economies are
still national in character
nationalism and local culture remains an important motivating force and the nation-
state retain sovereignty
global economy is not truly globalised, instead it is triadic -0 dominated by big
powers/blocs
transformationalist account:
evolving process – blend between hyperglobalist and sceptics
nation-state remains significant but notions of sovereignty are being transformed
globalisations is not inevitable and it might have different ideological hues
globalists are correct that international system is changing but go too far with claims
about dominance of a globalised economy and its entities
sceptics are right to challenge some of the overblown claims by globalists
Cautious of the term globalisation as it is contested as it can be seen as Westernisation or
Americanisation etc.
Liberal feminism/globalisation
economic globalisation, free markets and iFI policies needed for greater gender
awareness/gender mainstreaming
role for nation-states in supporting women vs extreme laissez faire
social reproduction and the marketplace
Beijjing platform for action (1995-)
