ABSTRACT
This chapter considers how markets, states, and the domestic sector constitute and re-constitute gender orders in the context of globalization. The scholarship on engendering economic analysis facilitates a deeper understanding of the processes of globalization, restructuring, and economic crises by fore grounding absences in economic accounts of sustainability. Feminist economists see globalization as part of a broader process of restructuring of the state and civil society, of political economy and culture, and of the domestic sector. The chapter links a discussion of the economic sites and socially embedded economic processes of globalization to a gender-aware framework. Feminist economics foregrounds the interaction of productive and reproductive activities, creating the foundations for a more complete economics. A gendered dynamic process shaping institutions beyond the household sees gender relations as constituting institutions in such a way that they reproduce gender inequalities to varying degrees.
