Abstract
Gender matters – in Political Economy as well as in the study of Global Governance, Regionalisation and Regulation. Women’s and gender studies are multifaceted: some interrogate and question mainstream approaches in political economy from a feminist and intersectional perspective, whereas others include gender as a variable or as a structural category into existing models and frameworks. What the diverse approaches have in common is that they all make the case for the importance of gender as an analytical tool and bring forward empirical studies about men/women, gender orders and gender relations. How gender matters can be briefly illustrated by one of the topics GARNET’s group on Gender in International Political Economy is dealing with: The commodification and privatisation of public services, a process that has gathered speed since the establishment of the WTO. This process is highly contested, and will have considerable impacts on gender relations. In the short run, privatization shifts the public-private balance through cutbacks in state expenditure thus changing the relation of exchange entitlements. In the long run, privatization of public assets leads to changing resource entitlements. From a gender perspective one question is how the commodification/privatization of public services is linked to the liberalization of trade and investment in services covered in the GATS, and the reconfiguration of gender relations in different regions of the world. In the bibliography you find countless such questions and topics.
