Ltd OUR PRICE: $56.99 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: August 2018 * Not available - Not in print at this time *Annotation: The focus of the book is on engendering governance institutions towards gender equality. This has gained currency over the past few years, primarily due to the lack of achievement in the desired goals of development, especially in terms of attaining gender equality and women's empowerment. With constant transformation in the socio-economic and political systems in developing countries, particularly in India as a result of economic reforms, it becomes important to interpret the role of the multiple stakeholders in governance, namely the state, civil society and the market. By including market institutions in this debate, this book has broadened the canvas of what is meant by engendering governance. |
