“…Moral narratives that chastise transgressing women are not new. Mills (2018) asserts that the gendered moral narratives stemming from new patterns of production and reproduction in Asia reveal how local ideological support sustains neoliberal models of development and governance. Invoking both Lynch (2007) and Hewamanne (2008), Mills further elaborates how narratives and images of female immorality connected with global production in Sri Lanka initiate varied moral and material demands that marginalized and gendered groups must carefully navigate daily.…”

В широком смысле слова онтология современной неоклассической экономической науки описывает экономику как преимущественную сферу деятельности и интереса и работника, и работодателя, игнорируя или недооценивая другие характеристики реальности.…”

“…Впрочем, как отмечает J. Mills (2017), «провалы» неолиберализма порой неплохо коррелируют с местными предрассудками в отношении, например, самостоятельных женщин в Азии (Таиланде), которых местное население, особенно в сельских районах, склонно считать порочными за их амбициозность и мобильность. К риторическим приемам неолиберального дискурса можно отнести следующие (см.…”

Opportunites and challenges for women's empowerment in the gemstone value chain in Madagascar and Thailand

Across the globe, coloured gemstones such as sapphire are produced by low technology mining and processing using rudimentary tools. Women engage in this Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) as it has low barriers to entry and can provide some level of finance to support women and their families. Women are also actively engaged in some countries as gemstone traders, cutters and jewellers. This industry has rarely been considered from a global value chain perspective, in particular regarding the role of gender and women's opportunities for empowerment in the sector. Little attention has been paid to the economic organisation of the sector by business disciplines. In this research I present a feminist inspired examination of the opportunities for women's empowerment in the gemstone supply chain and a critique of some aspects of current formalisation processes, which may further disempower women. Using a life history methodology, I keep the perspectives and the voices of women in this value chain at the centre of my inquiry into women's empowerment.
