Housewifisation – Globalisation – Subsistence-Perspective
This chapter begins by posing the question: How is reflection on the meaning of the three theoretical concepts, housewifisation, globalisation and subsistence, relevant to answering the questions women and men are struggling with in central Europe today? The answer is provided in the form of hypotheses such as: (1) The concepts were the right key concepts for feminists seeking to criticise a worldwide, capitalist patriarchal economic system, and …
Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale: Women in the International Division Of Labour
First published in 1986, Maria Mies’s progressive book was hailed as a major paradigm shift for feminist theory, and it remains a major contribution to development theory and practice today. Tracing the social origins of the sexual division of labour, it offers a history of the related processes of colonization and 'housewifization' and extends this analysis to the contemporary new international division of labour. Mies's theory of capitalist pat…
Patriarchy and accumulation on a world scale revisited. (Keynote lecture at the Green Economics Institute, Reading, 29 October 2005)
Patriarchy and accumulation -revisited' asks why a book, which first appeared in 1986, still finds so much interest today. The answer is that the analysis of that book is still valid, namely that the unpaid work of women in the household, the work of subsistence producers, working in the informal sector and the work of nature constitute the hidden underground of the capitalist world economy and its accumulation model. In this connection, I use th…

‘Gender’ and Global Capitalism
Before analysing the relationship between global capitalism and what has been coined as ‘gender’ I want to spell out my critique regarding the use of certain concepts in this chapter. The first focuses on the concept ‘development’ which is used as a key concept in the title of this book. The second critique deals with the concept of gender, used since the early 1970s.
Defending, Reclaiming and Reinventing the Commons
This study addresses the following questions: Who destroys the commons? Why have the commons to be reinvented? Can there be something like global commons? What can 'new commons' be in rich industrialized countries? The authors argue that there can be no reinvention of the commons in the industrialized North without a defense of the commons in the largely subsistence-based South. They identify two opposed concepts of 'reinventing the commons:' fir…
The Subsistence Perspective: Beyond the Globalised Economy
The aim of the subsistence perspective is happiness, quality of life and human dignity. In movements most often led by women, particularly in the third world, the authors demonstrate a different and more effective form of politics and economic thought, with the emphasis on development from the bottom-up
Globalization of the Economy and Women’s Work in a Sustainable Society
This paper outlines and critiques existing paradigms of global development, arguing and establishing that the prevailing capitalist/patriarchal pattern of development that is synonymous with the stimulation of permanent economic growth, is incompatible with a concern for conservation of scarce resources, women’s genuine empowerment and a sustainable ecology and society.It further argues that the term ’gender,’ like sustainability, has been co-opt…

Indian Women and Patriarchy: Conflicts and Dilemmas of Students and Working Women
Capitalist development and subsistence reproduction; rural women in India
All economic systems, modes of production, and all human history presuppose two types of basic human activities: production of the means of subsistence and production of new life or procreation. The first is necessary to satisfy basic human needs and to sustain life, the second to ensure the continuation of society from generation to generation. Engels correctly called both types of human activity production and stated that the institutions of a …

Kvinnor har av den officiella historieskrivningen kallats 'historielösa'.
