A Cornell conference takes note.
3/22/2004
Tensions brought on by globalization at the start of the 21st century are explored in this collection of essays that were the result of a conference held at Cornell University to honor the late Danish economist Ester Boserup, a pioneer in the field of gender and development. Gender issues as they relate to globalization is a theme developed in several areas of the book, but there are other topics as well: global governance, labor standards, financial crises, international trade, and urbanization.Cynthia D.
