How have the major philosophical traditions addressed global gender issues? How do gendered power dynamics privilege some voices over others? How do states and other political actors respond to major global gender issues? What is the position of transgender persons in world politics? How do gender norms and power dynamics shape the ways in which the global economy produces or reinforces socio-economic inequities? What role do gender norms play in the context of war and conflict? How do gender norms influence international human rights laws?
Global Gender: Ethical and Political Issues provides readers with the analytical tools to better understand the suppositions that underlie the debates about such questions, as well as advances its own reasoned and informed ethical analyses of these topics. The book engages different normative approaches from the fields of ethics, political theory, sociology and international relations and uses them to examine a set of international case studies on the subjects of human trafficking, female infanticide and the role of gender in war and conflict.
