Summary

Applying a gender-aware analysis to macroeconomics, this book on restructuring and adjustment presents a global picture.

The Strategic Silence Summary

The Strategic Silence: Gender and Economic Policy by Isabella Bakker

Most treatments of economic change harbour a conceptual silence: the refusal to recognise that global restructuring is occurring on a gendered terrain.

This book's unique contribution to the literature on restructuring and adjustment lies in its application of feminist scholarship to macroeconomics.

The contributors focus on these conceptual silences, examining macroeconomic methods and policies in order to propose new research strategies to deliver a more gender-aware economics.

The Strategic Silence Reviews

'The artful combination of conceptual essays and specific case studies makes this book an excellent resource from both a methodological and a practical viewpoint.'
Julie A. Nelson, University of California, Davis

'Offers a much needed corrective to how we examine and interpret the complex issues which frame the relationship between gender and economic policy.'
Shelley Feldman, director of the Program on Gender and Global Change, Cornell University

'Fills a very important gap in the field of gender and development.'
Naila Kabeer, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex
