Reviews / Votes
Praise for first edition:'This exciting collection fills an urgent need. Theorists of International Political Economy (IPE) typically neglect gender, and feminists too often neglect the Global Political Economy. In contrast, this major work brings the cutting edges of IPE and feminist scholarship into productive relation, affording not only thoughtful and thought-provoking case studies but also fresh analytical insights and conceptual breakthroughs. It demands the attention of IR theorists, political economists, feminists and all who seek to understand global restructuring and possibilities for social justice.'
Professor V. Spike Peterson, University of Arizona, USA
'This is a groundbreaking edited volume in its efforts to reveal the complex multidimensional linkages between everyday lives and transformations in subjectivities, markets, societies and states.'
Christine B.N Chin, Assistant Professor of International Relations, American University, Washington
