ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the relationship between gendered inequalities and global political economy (GPE). It argues that globalization in its many manifestations and the economic processes that preceded it are gendering and gendered in ways that reflect both continuity and change, both sustaining inequalities and injustices. The chapter continues the analysis of the problematics of "adding women," in the case into extant GPE power structures, arguing that the economic repositioning of women and men is not disrupting the power of gender, which undermines broader economic justice by breeding the economic and ecological crisis of sustainability. The effects of climate change have been most borne by the poor, the racialized, and the indigenous in the global South and North, but especially women within these contexts. The chapter exposes how neoliberal globalization has exacerbated the disposability of resources and bodies, particularly those that are most gendered, racialized, and classed, ultimately threatening the planet itself.
