Special Call for Papers: Engendering Economic Policy in Africa
Guest Editors
Caren A Grown, Abena D Oduro, and Irene van Staveren
In recent years, feminist economists and gender and development scholars
have drawn attention to the adverse effects in Africa of policies associated
with the Washington Consensus, including trade liberalization, strict
anti-inflationary policies, and privatization of government functions. As
these policies particularly disadvantage women and the poor, a variety of
voices have emerged critiquing their underlying assumptions and renewing
efforts to promote alternate pathways to gender equity, well-being, and
sustainable economic development.
The special issue, planned for online publication in 2014 and print
publication in 2015, will bring together new research aimed at challenging
and improving economic policies in Africa. More generally, the special issue
will provide a forum for feminist economists and scholars in relevant
disciplines to analyze the interrelationships among macroeconomic reforms,
gender inequalities, and the microeconomic channels that affect the
well-being of women, their families, and their communities. The special
issue will welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions, and
analyses that rely on diverse research methodologies, including statistical
analysis. Feminist Economics especially welcomes submissions from African
scholars as well as others from the Global South.
Contributions may cover diverse topics, including but not limited to:
* Gender and poverty dimensions of macroeconomic policy, aid, and/or
debt
* Enhancing food security and reducing livelihood risks using social
protection
* Ensuring equitable growth and development in post-conflict economies
* Property rights and how they affect the ownership of assets by women
and men
* Microfinance and the debate over its efficacy for women’s
empowerment
* The care economy and the role of social policy
Deadline for abstracts: Please direct queries and abstracts (500 words
maximum) to the Guest Editors, Caren Grown ([log in to unmask]), Abena D.
