Gender Equality in a Global Perspective

Gender Equality in a Global Perspective looks to discuss whether Gender Equality can be adopted as it has been defined in international documents anywhere, or whether it needs to be adapted in a more local context ; discuss which factors and perspectives need to be taken into account when adapting Gender Equality to specific contexts ; suggest research approaches for studies on whether a universal (Western) concept of Gender Equality fits in certain specific contexts ; and finally suggests challenges to the existing interpretation of Gender Equality (e.g., theory of intersectionality) ; and the development of legal and policy framework. This book is situated within the tradition of comparative gender studies. While most other such books take up and compare various ways of implementing (or not implementing) gender equality, this book studies and compares whether or not (and to what extent) a specific definition of Gender Equality (GE) could be adopted by various nations. Thus, all chapter contributors will engage with the same definition of GE, which will be presented within the book, and discuss the possibilities and constrains related to applying such a definition in their particular national context.
