Description: Global Gender Issues connects the inequalities between and among women and men with the "world politics" of power, security, economics, and ecology. Through history, theoretical analysis, empirical data, visual imagery, and other narrative techniques, the authors alert us to gendered divisions of power, violence, labor, and resources.

In doing so, they show how the position of women and the power of gender relate to such issues as global governance, militarization, ethnic nationalism, global economic restructuring, and environmental degradation.
