“…Similar to themes such as gender or race, it is not sufficient to simply 'incorporate' environmental factors into existing research, but to develop perspectives and research programmes centring around climate breakdown. As Elias and Roberts (2018) argue that gender scholarship in IPE is more than simply analysing how globalisation impacts women, an IPE perspective on climate breakdown should go beyond merely analysing how the environment is affected by global political and economic processes. The benchmark for successful centring of climate breakdown into IPE consist in our view in the establishment of research programmes that are both, systematic and concrete.…”

The globally accelerating environmental breakdown necessitates a large-scale mobilisation not only of the natural and engineering sciences, but also of insights generated from social sciences. Consequently, recent interventions in International/Global Political Economy (IPE) demand a gearing of the field towards putting climate breakdown centre stage. We respond to this call by drawing attention to the role critical IPE approaches can offer to the field to engage with climate breakdown more comprehensively and consistently. We argue that critical IPE can do so by combining problem-driven and praxis-oriented emancipatory perspectives, leading to systematic and concrete research programmes that are indispensable in the age of climate breakdown. We support our argument by documenting and systematising this potential across the three core IPE themes of economic growth, state theory and global finance. In order to unlock its full potential for centring climate breakdown, we argue that critical IPE needs to more strongly embrace multidisciplinarity and intersectional approaches, as well as to produce more empirical work and methodological advances in future research.

“…Previous literature has found that women's place in the IPE is defined by a patriarchal structure that exhibits informal barriers such as gender bias, discrimination, segregation, heteronormative behaviours, and unpaid or informal labour (Stromquist, 1991;Ellerby, 2017;Elias and Roberts, 2018). These informal barriers keep them from succeeding in the same space and at the same levels as men.…”

“…Without the same opportunities as men to enter the workforce, women frequently face a low level of economic autonomy and empowerment inside the state. When women do enter this space, they take on low-paid, labour-intensive, and service-oriented jobs (Elias and Roberts, 2018). This economic inequality between the genders links back to gender norms and societal expectations of suitable work and pay.…”

Disasters and the diminishing of women's economic empowerment

This paper examines, both theoretically and empirically, the relationship between rapid‐onset disasters and women's economic freedom. Rapid‐onset disasters create difficulties for all involved, but without proper discussion of and changes to women's economic status in society, they will continue to suffer disproportionately. The study answers the following question: ‘how do disasters impact women's economic empowerment?‘. It argues that there are underlying factors contributing to unequal economic opportunities that are exacerbated by disasters. Current literature discusses how disasters affect women's economic and political rights, but often it does not account for variables that may not have been captured in contemporary indices. The paper assesses women's burden of care, restrictions on mobility, formal economic employment, and access to recovery resources with respect to their economic empowerment. And it analyses 180 countries and territories that experienced disasters between 1981 and 2019 to uncover their effects on women's economic freedom. This research could facilitate and help to alter the overall narrative on women's empowerment.

“…In particular, work that seeks to reconsider how empirical schisms have emerged between understandings of security and economy, that limit the possibilities for more integrated analyses. 2 From our -outsiders -perspective, IPS appears as a diverse and open-ended field of study that certainly shares significant commonalities, overlaps and intellectual histories with many strands of IPE scholarship. 3 Even as IPS scholarship has become ever more attuned to a concern with the materiality of international politics -revealed in its border fences, garbage flows and mass graves 4,5,6 -there exists disquiet about the extent to which such a focus displays a relative inattention to proliferating markets, economic transformations and material inequalities.…”
