Publisher: New DelhI Sage Publications 2018Description: xxv, 398p.ISBN: 978-93-528-0771-0.Subject(s): Economic Development -- Women and Development -- Feminist Economics - India | Developing countries | Economic development -- WomenDDC classification: 305.4208 Summary: Close Encounters of Another Kind: Women and Development Economics brings together Devaki Jain’s essays which engage with public policy, development economics and women. In the 1970s and 1980s, as a fallout of the First World Conference of Women, held in Mexico in 1975, then the Women’s Decade (1975–85), followed by the Second World Conference in 1985 in Nairobi, governments energized their bureaucracies to address women’s inclusion in development programmes. Thereby began the work of gendering development, and as a result of challenging the existing ideas, projects related to the design of development policies and programmes. However, most of these efforts were couched in the knowledge and experience of the global North since the efforts were largely led by the Northern intellectual community. In this volume therefore, Professor Jain highlights the ways in which the design of public policy has ignored the lived experience of what was being offered in India as development.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
