Gender politics in neoliberal governance : the case of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development

Year: 2015

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This thesis is about the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and its role and strategies in the governance of gender relations. Constructing a feminist political economy approach, the thesis examines the process of developing and implementing policies on gender mainstreaming, as it relates to wider processes of institutional change and economic innovation at the EBRD. The central argument made throughout the thesis is that the objective of gender equality has been co-opted to support the EBRD’s policies and strategies for market expansion.
