EnGENDERing Wealth and Well-Being

Latin America in Global Perspective

The fundamental purpose of this multivolume series is to broaden conceptual perspectives for the study of Latin America. This effort responds to a perception of need. Latin America cannot be understood in isolation from other parts of the world. This has always been so; it is especially true in the contemporary era.

Accordingly, the goal of this series is to demonstrate the desirability and the feasibility of analyzing Latin America in comparative perspective, in conjunction with other regions, and in global perspective, in the context of worldwide processes. A subsidiary purpose is to establish a bridge between Latin American area studies and mainstream social science disciplines, to the mutual benefit of both. Ultimately, the intent is to explore and emphasize intellectual challenges posed by dynamic changes within Latin America and in its relation to the international arena.

The present volume examines the impact of economic change on gender and on womens roles in Latin America and other parts of the world. The keynote volume for the series, Latin America in Comparative Perspective: New Approaches to Methods and Analysis, explores theoretical and methodological issues involved in the comparative analysis of Latin America. Other studies in this series will include:

Institutional Design in New Democracies, edited by Arend Lijphart and Carlos Waisman;

Domestic Politics and Global Environmental Policy, edited by Gordon MacDonald, Daniel Nielsen, and Marc Stem;

Civil-Military Relations After the Cold War, edited by David Mares;

Cooperation or Rivalry? Regional Integration in the Americas and the Pacific Rim, edited by Shoji Nishijima and Peter H. Smith.

This series results from a multiyear research program organized by the Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies (CILAS) at the University of California, San Diego. Principal funding has come from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
