Description: "This collection sets out how a gendered approach to political economy can help us understand the inherently gendered structure that characterize our society, and provide the foundation for a truly interdisciplinary social science. It provides a comprehensive coverage of gendered political economy - what it is, where it is and, perhaps more importantly, how it should develop." "The twelve chapters that make up this book combine the development of a theoretical framework with empirical examples illustrations the core concerns of gendered political economy. They show how applying a gendered analysis can improve our understanding of social, political and economic structures, and the way in which individuals behave within these structures."--Jacket.
