--Diane Elson, University of Essex
".an informative and accessible introduction to the debates on
gender, development and globalization. It is an excellent and very
readable text for all students of international relations,
development studies and politics." (Political Studies)
"Shirin Rai's complex and comprehensive book threads gender
throughout an analysis of nationalism, globalization, global
restructuring, and government in the twentieth century. With
breathtaking scope, her analysis will appeal to specialists in
international political economy, comparative politics and gender
studies. Shirin Rai has produced nothing short of the twentieth
century, using a theoretical frame with implications for practice:
political engagement with a gendered lens." (Political Science
Quarterly)
"Its unique approach makes it a valuable book not only for those
interested in politics and sociology, but also for newcomers to the
field of gender studies." (Development and Change)
"Shirin Rai has produced a book that is essential reading - not just for feminists, but for anyone interested in global development."(International Feminist Journal of Politics)
