Women in Developing Countries: A Policy Focus: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Women in Developing Countries: A Policy Focus" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Here is an insightful volume on the integration of women in the modernization process of developing countries, with research studies on women and development in Guatemala, Tanzania, Indonesia, and several other countries. Drawing from theory and practice, authorities examine how development in any kind of economy marginalizes women, illustrate the existence of a feminist awareness among impoverished rural women, demonstrate the importance of understanding the policy and program implementation institutions within which any transition toward more women-sensitive change is to occur, and suggest the kind of research that would be useful and credible to policymakers. Each of the controversial chapters reflects a new phase in women and development research, and each is a reminder that the fundamental issue--womens subordination--remains key to theory and practice in development.

INTRODUCTION

Women and Development

Kathleen A. Staudt
Jane S. Jaquette

Who gets what, when and how have been standard concerns in the study of politics. Decisions about the allocation of society's resources and opportunities to men and women and the ways in which bureaucracies implement those decisions are key issues for women and development researchers. Women and development emerged and grew with feminist critiques of modernization theories and development practice. That women and development research is entering a new phase is a theme reiterated by several contributors to this volume.

Women and development is a growing field in which the social sciences, women's studies and developmentalists converge. Although the field consists of much applied, policy-oriented research, it also serves as a vehicle by which to question the economic theory and direction of development itself. Such questioning has ordinarily involved Marxist and dependency critiques.

The women and development literature displays a common tension between broad, macro-perspective generalizations about structure and evolution, and micro-level, detailed case or single-issue policy studies. Optimally, the power behind these two perspectives is theory, either from traditional perspectives in established disciplines or from innovative attempts to carve out wholly new feminist lines of analysis.

The differences between women's studies and women and development are significant, but not unbridgeable. Women's studies is concentrated primarily in the humanities and only secondarily in the social sciences. It is parochial in its almost sole focus on the U.S. and western world. Its conceptions of feminism fit within the western historical heritage. Only recently has women's studies had an applied focus. Finally, women's studies seeks to be an interdisciplinary field in itself; this separateness allows for and even stimulates a purist thrust.
