This series aims to create a greater awareness of the gendered nature of the economic, political, social, and cultural processes associated with globalization, in particular the increasing flow of capital, labor, and information across national boundaries. Books in the Gender and Globalization series will examine not only formal, state-based mechanisms such as law where injustices associated with globalization processes have been addressed, but also the informal, everyday means deployed by men and women to cope with, accommodate, redress, and resist the changed lifestyles and injustices associated with globalization.
