Klimatkris, högerpopulism, systematiskt våld och ojämlika livsvillkor världen över. Feministiska perspektiv på global politik visar att feministisk forskning ger oss verktyg för att analysera dessa brännande politiska problem. När vi ställer frågor om kön och undersöker maktordningar som innefattar sexualitet, klass, ras och nation, ökar kunskapen om hur hierarkier och orättvisor skapas och kan utmanas.Inom ramen för fem teman - klimatpolitik och hållbarhet, institutioner och styrning, ekonomi och arbete, transnationell mobilisering och aktivism samt krig, våld och militarisering - presenteras centrala feministiska teorier genom nedslag i aktuell forskning. Dessutom ingår ett kapitel som ger vägledning i att genomföra egna studier av global politik. Boken riktar sig till studenter i ämnen som genusvetenskap, statsvetenskap och internationella relationer och alla andra som är intresserade av globala frågor.

With catchphrases like “smart economics” and “the business case for gender equality,” global corporations are increasingly involved in gender and development politics in the Global South. This book focuses on an emblematic example of this tendency to interrogate the proposed win-win relationship between corporate profit opportunities and the economic advancement of women in marginalized economic positions. The Coca-Cola Company’s 5by20 program has won broad recognition for its global reach and ambitious goal: to economically empower five million female micro-entrepreneurs across its supply chain before the end of 2020. Based on situated engagements with program implementers and participants in Mexico and South Africa, the study moves beyond the unequivocally positive effects conveyed by the program’s rhetoric. It examines the appropriation of social values to strengthen the brand; the use of self-help psychology to enhance entrepreneurial conduct and exempt weak economic results; and the recasting of women’s precarious labor in terms of entrepreneurship – which conceals structural causes of poverty and impediments of sustainable business development. Providing unique insights into the premises and effects of corporate solutions to gender inequality in the Global South, the book contributes to debates on the relations between neoliberal capitalist expansion and feminist emancipatory endeavors.
