This book explores how rural gender relations are changing in a
globalizing world and how they fundamentally impact the structure
of agricultural life in rural areas and urban-rural relations. It
analyzes the development of rural gender relations in specific
places around the world and looks into the effects of the
increasing connectivity and mobility of people across places. The
themes covered are: gender and mobility, gender and agriculture,
gender and rural politics, rurality and gender identity, and women
and international development. Each theme has an overview of the
state of the art in that specific thematic area and integrates
relevant case studies.
