Book Synopsis States, Markets, Families by : Julia S. O'Connor
Download or read book States, Markets, Families written by Julia S. O'Connor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s have seen dramatic restructuring of state social provision in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia. This has occurred largely because of the rise of market liberalism, which challenges the role of the state. This important book examines the impact of changes in social policy regimes on gender roles and relations. Structured thematically and systematically comparative, it analyses three key policy areas: labor markets, income maintenance and reproductive rights. Largely driven by issues of equality, it considers the role of the state as a site for gender and sexual politics at a time when primacy is given to the market, developing an argument about social citizenship in the process. Eminent scholars in the field, Julia O'Connor, Ann Orloff and Sheila Shaver make a landmark contribution to debates about social policy and gender relations in this era of economic restructuring and deregulation.

Book Synopsis Liberalism, Neutrality, and the Gendered Division of Labor by : Gina Schouten
Download or read book Liberalism, Neutrality, and the Gendered Division of Labor written by Gina Schouten and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defends progressive political interventions to erode the gendered division of labor as legitimate exercises of coercive political power. The gendered division of labor is widely regarded as the linchpin of gender injustice. The process of gender equalization in domestic and paid labor allocations has stalled, and a growing number of scholars argue that, absent political intervention, further eroding of the gendered division of labor will not be forthcoming anytime soon. Certain political interventions could jumpstart the stalled gender revolution, but beyond their prospects for effectiveness, such interventions stand in need of another kind of justification. In a diverse, liberal state, reasonable citizens will disagree about what makes for a good life and a good society. Because a fundamental commitment of liberalism is to limit political intrusion into the lives of citizens and allow considerable space for those citizens to act on their own conceptions of the good, questions of legitimacy arise. Legitimacy concerns the constraints we must abide by as we seek collective political solutions to our shared social problems, given that we will disagree, reasonably, both about what constitutes a problem and about what costs we should be willing to incur to fix it. The interventions in question would effectively subsidize gender egalitarian lifestyles at a cost to those who prefer to maintain a traditional gendered division of labor. In a pluralistic, liberal society where many citizens reasonably resist the feminist agenda, can we legitimately use scarce public resources to finance coercive interventions to subsidize gender egalitarianism? This book argues that they can, and moreover, that they can even by the lights of political liberalism, a particularly demanding theory of liberal legitimacy.
Book Synopsis Gender Inequality and Welfare States in Europe by : Mary Daly
Download or read book Gender Inequality and Welfare States in Europe written by Mary Daly and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender equality has been one of the defining projects of European welfarestates. It has proven an elusive goal, not just because of political opposition but also due to a lack of clarity in how to best frame equality and take account of family-related considerations. This wide-ranging book assembles the most pertinent literature and evidence to provide a critical understanding of how contemporary state policies engage with gender inequalities.
Download or read book Social Reproduction written by Meg Luxton and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2006 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a feminist political economy approach, contributors document the impact of current socio-economic policies on states, markets, households, and communities. Relying on impressive empirical research, they argue that women bear the costs of and responsibility for care-giving and show that the theoretical framework provided by feminist analyses of social reproduction not only corrects the gender-blindness of most economic theories but suggests an alternative that places care-giving at its centre. In this illuminating study, they challenge feminist scholars to re-engage with materialism and political economy to engage with feminism.
Book Synopsis The Gender Regime of Anti-Liberal Hungary by : Eva Fodor
Download or read book The Gender Regime of Anti-Liberal Hungary written by Eva Fodor and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book explains a new type of political order that emerged in Hungary in 2010: a form of authoritarian capitalism with an anti-liberal political and social agenda. Eva Fodor analyzes an important part of this agenda that directly targets gender relations through a set of policies, political practice and discourse—what she calls “carefare.” The book reveals how this is the anti-liberal response to the crisis-of-care problem and establishes how a state carefare regime disciplines women into doing an increasing amount of paid and unpaid work without fair remuneration. Fodor analyzes elements of this regime in depth and contrasts it to other social policy ideal-types, demonstrating how carefare is not only a set of policies targeting women, but an integral element of anti-liberal rule that can be seen emerging globally.
Book Synopsis Has Liberalism Failed Women? by : J. Klausen
Download or read book Has Liberalism Failed Women? written by J. Klausen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-07-05 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comes out of a conference in April of 1999 at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University on the topic of 'Gender Parity and the Liberal Tradition: Proposals and Debates in Europe and the United States.' It is a collection of short essays that attempt to capture the theoretical arguments and policy changes presented at the conference. The essays are divided into three sections, each of which approaches from a different angle the central question of whether liberalism has failed women. The first section aims to frame the discussion by outlining the theoretical arguments for the amendments or revisions implied by the proponents of the Parity Movement in Europe and for the concerns raised by critics. The second describes recent changes in party rules, European legal framework, and national constitutions, as well as the gains made by women in response to rule change. The third section provides American perspectives on the lessons that parity advocates might draw from affirmative action policies and speculations about how parity rules would work in the American context. The essays are drawn from top European and American scholars.
Book Synopsis Gender, the State, and Social Reproduction by : Kate Bezanson
Download or read book Gender, the State, and Social Reproduction written by Kate Bezanson and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the neo-liberal policies implemented in the mid to late 1990s in Ontario by Mike Harris's Progressive Conservative government have had major repercussions for the population of that province. In Gender, the State, and Social Reproduction, Kate Bezanson considers the implications of those policies for gender relations - that is, how women and men, families, and households have coped with these changes, and how the division of labour and standard of living within these households were affected. Bezanson also considers the implications of neo-liberalism more generally on the lives of people living under such regimes.
Book Synopsis For Women, For Wales and For Liberalism by : Ursula Masson
Download or read book For Women, For Wales and For Liberalism written by Ursula Masson and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the neglected history of women who were active in Liberal politics, campaigning for women's rights, the vote, and a full role for women in Welsh public life, at the end of the nineteenth century, and before the First World War. The over-arching argument of the book is that Welsh women's Liberal politics was distinctive, in its attempt to integrate an understanding of Liberalism which they shared with their English counterparts, and which included the aim of full equality for women, with a distinctively Welsh political agenda, and constructions of Welsh national identity. These constructions sometimes included a positive view of women in the nation, but in times of political crisis redefined gender on a more reactionary model.

Book Synopsis Caring for Liberalism by : Asha Bhandary
Download or read book Caring for Liberalism written by Asha Bhandary and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caring for Liberalism brings together chapters that explore how liberal political theory, in its many guises, might be modified or transformed to take the fact of dependency on board. In addressing the place of care in liberalism, this collection advances the idea that care ethics can help respond to legitimate criticisms from feminists who argue that liberalism ignores issues of race, class, and ethnicity. The chapters do not simply add care to existing liberal political frameworks; rather, they explore how integrating dependency might leave core components of the traditional liberal philosophical apparatus intact, while transforming other aspects of it. Additionally, the contributors address the design of social and political institutions through which care is given and received, with special attention paid to non-Western care practices. This book will appeal to scholars working on liberalism in philosophy, political science, law, and public policy, and it is a must-read for feminist political philosophers.

Book Synopsis Liberalism Is Not Enough by : Robin Marie Averbeck
Download or read book Liberalism Is Not Enough written by Robin Marie Averbeck and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this intellectual history of the fraught relationship between race and poverty in the 1960s, Robin Marie Averbeck offers a sustained critique of the fundamental assumptions that structured liberal thought and action in postwar America. Focusing on the figures associated with "Great Society liberalism" like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, David Riesman, and Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Averbeck argues that these thinkers helped construct policies that never truly attempted a serious attack on the sources of racial inequality and injustice. In Averbeck's telling, the Great Society's most notable achievements--the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act--came only after unrelenting and unprecedented organizing by black Americans made changing the inequitable status quo politically necessary. And even so, the discourse about poverty created by liberals had inherently conservative qualities. As Liberalism Is Not Enough reveals, liberalism's historical relationship with capitalism shaped both the initial content of liberal scholarship on poverty and its ultimate usefulness to a resurgent conservative movement.
Book Synopsis Engendering Social Policy by : Sophie Watson
Download or read book Engendering Social Policy written by Sophie Watson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engendering Social Policy brings new and fresh perspectives to the question of how social policy constructs gendered social relations. With the restructuring of welfare firmly back on the political agenda, in the context of a reassertion that traditional families are the backbone of society, this book raises important issues for students, academics and practitioners grappling with social policy issues at the end of the millennium. Articles in the collection draw on a diversity of theoretical and methodological perspectives engaging with issues that have vexed feminist analysts and activists over more than two decades. The collection explores how social policy constructs gendered relations, the difference/equality debate, representations and discourses of gender in social policy, the tensions and issues associated with restructuring domestic relations, and feminist alternatives to mainstream social policy solutions. The book adopts a comparative and international perspective taking on board the importance of global changes as well as illustrating its argument with practices and research from a number of countries. This book is essential reading for those interested in seriously addressing questions of gender and social policy in an international framework.
Download or read book Sexual Politics written by Kate Millett and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sensation upon its publication in 1970, Sexual Politics documents the subjugation of women in great literature and art. Kate Millett's analysis targets four revered authors—D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Norman Mailer, and Jean Genet—and builds a damning profile of literature's patriarchal myths and their extension into psychology, philosophy, and politics. Her eloquence and popular examples taught a generation to recognize inequities masquerading as nature and proved the value of feminist critique in all facets of life. This new edition features the scholar Catharine A. MacKinnon and the New Yorker correspondent Rebecca Mead on the importance of Millett's work to challenging the complacency that sidelines feminism.
