This book examines the understudied area of subnational human rights and the human rights economy.Against the context of increasing economic and political power of local level governments – both cities and subnational regions – this interdisciplinary volume provides a crucial examination of economic policies that are grounded in human rights principles and obligations while being implemented in the places people live. Policies which promote economic justice and prosperity present many opportunities and challenges, and this book proposes ways in which local economic policies can respect, protect, and fulfil human rights, with positive multiplier effects at the national and global levels.This book will be of keen interest to scholars, students, and practitioners in human rights, economics, law, development, and urban studies; as well as professionals and policymakers involved in local economic development planning and the implementation of human rights norms.

This two-volume set brings together a selection of the most significant contributions to the field of gender and development. The key emphasis is on economic analysis, with some articles informed by an interdisciplinary approach. The volumes cover a variety of topics, including conceptual and methodological questions, statistical accounting of women's work, issues related to the family, households and caring labour, poverty, employment and labour markets, structural adjustment policies and social change. The collection will be useful for economists as well as for other social scientists interested in the field of development, women's work, labor markets, and feminist economics.Although the volumes are addressed to an academic audience interested in development issues in general and gender and development in particular, they will also be of interest to government agencies, international organizations, NGOs and other institutions and individuals working on development, policy-making and action from a gender perspective.
