“…Arguably, the intersectional approach is now widely accepted as the basis of feminist organising and analysis in the context of globalisation (see e.g. Marchand and Runyan 2000;Basu et al 2001;Peterson 2002).…”

The inadequacies of hegemonic liberal democratic ideas and institutions have been exposed by feminist theorists focusing on the marginalisation of women and by global theorists examining the impact of globalisation. These theorists have developed two distinct sets of reconstructive strategies that, until very recently, have remained in ignorance of each other. Further, both feminist and global democratic schemes have been dogged by problems in terms of their theorisation of power, politics, agency and change. Recent feminist arguments about citizenship and governance go some way to bringing together concerns about gender inequality and globalisation, but they remain centred on states and the states-system as vehicles for democratic representation and participation. This article argues that a more radical reconstructive strategy can be derived from debates about the democratisation of feminism itself. Drawing on the responses of black and third world feminists to racism in the white-dominated feminist movement, and examining their in uence on efforts to organise transnationally, the article points to innovative ways of thinking about power, politics, agency and change. Together these amount to a democratic framework which has applicability beyond feminist organising and which confronts the marginalisations of both gender and globalisation.Keywords globalisation, democracy, transnational feminist organising, black and third world feminists, transversal politics. IN TRODUCTIONLiberal democratic ideas and institutions retain a globally hegemonic grip, having apparently triumphed over their historic competitors. Although the 'third wave' of democratisation has been on the retreat somewhat over the last decade, as have the more hubristic claims about it, many commentators can still perceive

“…Indeed, they have shown how male-dominated institutions at the national and international level can derail policies designed to promote gender equality, such as gender mainstreaming, a transnational feminist effort to enhance women's participation in national and international organizations (True 2003; see also the Walby Special Issue on Comparative Gender Mainstreaming 7 (4) (2005)). Through theoretical and empirical studies, IFjP authors have made visible the systemic racial and gender orders entrenched within the productive and virtual economies associated with globalization (Adler 1999;Nordstrom 1999;Peterson 2002). They have demonstrated the seismic proportions of the global reproductive and care economies (Gibson et al 2001;Robinson 2006).…”

“…The definitions of globalization also range between the very narrow ones (preferred by economists) to the much more allencompassing ones that range over the social and cultural as well as the economic. These differences are sometimes over-dichotomized into economic versus cultural, and social science versus humanities approaches (Peterson 2002). Some analysts see globalization primarily as a process while for others it is an outcome.…”

Putting Governance into the Gendered Political Economy of Globalization

This article argues that the gendered analyses of governance and globalization should be integrated, because if we believe that globalization is not an immutable and irresistible force, our analyses of globalization can only be improved by a greater understanding of the gendered ways in which these processes are constructed and regulated. This understanding can also help to overcome the false dichotomy between structure and agency by helping to make clear the many ways in which actors interact with global structures and processes. Drawing on the diverse bodies of work on globalization and governance, this article focuses on four inter-related areas that are relevant to the development of a gendered political economy of governance and globalization. First it examines the processes associated with globalization, because although identified primarily with the analysis of globalization alone, an understanding of this area forms a preliminary building block for any integrated analysis. The subsequent three categories have been identified with the study of both governance and globalization and therefore are central to this endeavour. They are: the policies that have been linked to globalization; the norms, discourses and ideologies associated with globalization and its policies; and finally the contemporary forms of women's organizing that have been linked to globalization. The final section of the article examines some recent gender work that takes forward the task of integrating the analysis of gender, governance and globalization.-----------------------
