Diversity, Dialogue, and the Sociology of Development
The papers in this special issue bring attention to ontological and epistemological innovations. Their sociological perspectives address four current development issues: the conceptual transformation of health coverage; violence against women; social inclusion; and agency among vulnerable and marginalized domestic workers. Separately and together, they show that the path toward social dignity and advancement is best served by examining the forces…

Diversity, Dialogue, and the Sociology of Development
The study of development has been fundamental for sociologists since the earliest days of the discipline. Yet, after over a century of sociological inquiry, how much do we know about development, and what is the future of development from a sociological perspective? This special issue highlights how eclectic and inclusive the field of sociology of development has become in recent decades, illustrating the depth and proliferation of our sociologic…
Beyond the Bribe
Greater media and scholarly coverage of corruption and fraud in local-level NGOs in developing countries has brought attention to the complex and often contradictory underbelly of global civil society. The vast majority of social science research on corruption and fraud focuses on governments, corporations, and large-scale organizations. While some scholarship has examined the conditions that allow the proliferation of corruption and fraudulent a…
The Transnational Women's Rights Movement and the World Economy
Promoting the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) was a key objective of the transnational women's movement of the 1980s and 1990s. Yet, few studies examine what factors contribute to ratification. The small body of literature on this topic comes from a world-society perspective, which suggests that CEDAW represented a global shift toward women's rights and that ratification incre…
Transnational social movement organizations and gender mainstreaming bureaucracies
The 1980s and 1990s marked an explosive historical period in both the advancement of transnational social movement organizations and changes in the institutional structures of nation states. As a new set of global norms and values emerged, independent campaigns (women’s rights, human rights, and development) began to overlap and intersect. However, scholars, activists, and policy makers often view transnational social movement organizations as is…
The Historical Roots of a Global Feminist Perspective and the Growing Global Focus among U.S. Feminists
This chapter examines the emergence and existence of a global feminist perspective within the United States. The authors argue that the foundation of the relationship between U.S. feminists and global understandings is rooted in women’s international organizing and activism. Examining U.S. feminists’ involvement in international women’s movements from the end of the nineteenth century until post Beijing 95 (the United Nations Fourth World Confere…
The World Bank and organized hypocrisy? A cross-national analysis of structural adjustment and forest loss
We analyze data for a sample of 61 low- and middle-income nations from 1990 to 2010 using ordinary least squares regression to test the ideas from the theory of organized hypocrisy. In doing so, we find support for the theory with the World Bank does not pursue a coherent lending agenda but rather different and contradictory agendas in terms of its structural adjustment lending. The results reveal that World Bank structural adjustment lending in …
‘Men of iron will’
The borders between sacred and secular music are often believed to be fixed and impenetrable. However, when a secular musical genre is reworked for consumption by religious audiences, a space is created where the sacred meets the secular, and this can be used to examine the variety of ways in which cultural norms, values, and ideologies fluctuate and converge between the religious and temporal spheres. In this article, the author looks at the ove…
