Exploring privilege through feminist gender training
Drawing together a number of unaddressed concerns from a range of literatures, this article explores ways of working on privilege in gender training. It calls for feminist gender training that is reflexive, focused on process and grounded in the transformative potential of gender-training moments and encounters. Drawing on black feminist thought and privilege studies, the article engages with the challenges of working on privilege, using feminist…

Tourism, the Millennium Development Goals, and Gender Equality
Towards a gendered political economy of water and tourism
In many holiday destinations, the tourism industry exerts an enormous strain on water supplies. This generates a range of social problems, not least because local inhabitants often have to compete with the tourism sector over the access, allocation and use of water for their personal and domestic needs. Nevertheless, there has been very little academic research on the link between tourism and the impact of water scarcity on destination population…
This Is Our Gender Person”
Despite the prevalence of gender experts in international development institutions, their impact in terms of transformative feminist politics remains questionable. Gender experts, and their profession more broadly, have been strongly criticized by a range of feminists working in academic contexts. In particular, some have argued that neoliberalism and feminism have converged, framing the role of gender experts as primarily to legitimate and embed…
Gender, Work, and the Sexual Division of Labor
This article shows how work is gendered, both in how it plays out in labor markets and the ways it is constructed. It first looks at how the gender dynamics of paid work have been radically restructured worldwide over the last five decades and then shows the impact of the sexual division of labor on gender and work. The next sections study the restructuring of global production, two modern trends in gendered employment—labor migration and informa…
Promoting gender equality and empowering women? Tourism and the third Millennium Development Goal
The relationship between tourism and development has been explored in tourism studies and in policy-making circles for several decades. However, very little research has been carried out into the gender dimensions of this relationship. Using the third Millennium Development Goal (MDG3) – gender equality and women's empowerment – as the focus, this paper explores this theme from a critical perspective informed by feminist approaches to development…
Gender, Governance and Power
One of the foundational aims of this journal is to enable articulations of globalisation other than those conceived of within a narrow, economistic modality. The articles that comprise this special issue, in our view, make a timely and innovative contribution to the plurality of analytical insights that have been published in this journal since its inception. Further, this issue represents the first issue of Globalizations that, in its entirety, …
Tourism, Consumption and Inequality in Central America
Much research in international political economy (IPE) has been criticised for focussing on large and powerful actors in post-industrial countries, to the neglect of sites, processes and actors in the global South. This article offers a corrective to this bias in two ways: by locating the analysis in two rural Central American communities; and by exploring the social relations of consumption in these communities. In doing this, I challenge assump…
Interrogating ‘Gender’ in Development Policy and Practice
International development institutions have adopted 'gender' as a fundamental component of any policy, programme or project. However, the meaning of this is often far from the original aims of feminists fighting for a commitment to more equal gendered power relations and social justice. This article offers a detailed study of one particular strand of development funding – tourism-based microenterprises – and outlines the ways in which 'gender' is…
Tourism development and the restructuring of social reproduction in Central America
This research speaks to two themes on which little empirical work has been carried out in IPE: tourism and social reproduction. It focuses on changing relations of social reproduction in two tourism communities in Central America – Placencia in Belize and Monteverde and Costa Rica. In contrast to the majority of literature on social reproduction, the starting point for this analysis is not the reprivatisation of social reproduction but rather an …
The United Nations World Tourism Organisation
According to the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), tourism is ‘number one in the international services trade’, accounting for 40 per cent of global trade in services and 6 per cent of total world trade.1 1. ‘Tourism – The Path Ahead’, UNWTO NEWS Year XX, Issue 3 (2006), http://www.unwto.org/newsroom/magazine/archives/news3_06_e.pdf (accessed 30 May 2007), p. 6. The tourism industry directly provides around 3 per cent of global employment, or 1…
Developmental changes through adolescence in the spontaneous nomination of reference groups as a function of decision content
The Competence and Freedom of Children to Make Choices Regarding Participation in Research
The child is considered to be a person with the right of self‐determination. This statement holds that children should participate in research only under conditions of adequately informed consent, that parents must be fully informed about research procedures and purposes, but that parental consent is a sufficient condition only for infants or children without adequate capacity for informed choice. Children should receive complete explanations con…
