Women and Politics around the World [2 volumes]
A unique two-volume examination of the progress women have made in achieving political equality, Women and Politics around the World addresses both transnational and gender-related issues as well as specific conditions in more than 20 different countries. Women have made significant progress toward equal political representation in the United States and around the world, but true equality may be a long way away. Though women represent more than half of the world's population, they account for only 15 percent of its elected officials, and their particular concerns often go unaddressed in the political sphere. Women and Politics around the World: A Comparative History and Survey is an exploration of the role of women in political systems worldwide, as well as an examination of how government actions in various countries impact the lives of the female population. Women and Politics around the World divides its coverage into two volumes. The first looks at such crucial issues facing women today as health policy, civil rights, and education, comparing conditions around the world. The second volume profiles 22 different countries, representing a broad range of governments, economies, and cultures. Each profile looks at the history and current state of women's political and economic participation in a particular country, and includes an in-depth look at a representative policy. The result is a resource unlike any other - one that gives students, researchers, and other interested readers a fresh new way of investigating a truly global issue. This title features: topical essays on a broad range of gender-related policy issues, written by international scholars; focused explorations of women's political and economic progress in more than 20 individual countries; more than 70 photographs of both elected officials and women from all walks of life in countries around the world; more than 50 tables and charts presenting relevant data; and, approximately 20 sidebars

International economic and financial policy (IEFP) involves the analysis of national government policy measures which are intended to influence external trade, investment, intellectual property rights (IPR) and migration 6 IEFP can be seen as synonymous with the idea of globalization. The power of the state to intervene in markets is a key determinant of the existence of globalization, its speed and nature. What an individual argues about globalization is ultimately an argument of the preference for a specific view on the intervention of the state in the economy. This book focuses on IEFP by systematically relating it to theories of the state, as well as exploring in detail the role of international financial institutions and private institutions in globalization and the instruments used. There is also discussion of international trade, looking at the static gains from international trade and analyzing distortions and their remedies. There are also important contributions to the debate on trade opening and how it can affect employment and wages. This book represents an indispensable guide to the role of the state in globalization and IEFP, and is essential for all interested in the global economy, theories of the state, international trade and international finance.
