There has been an unending discussion on global labour standards without reaching an agreement as to how to achieve these standards worldwide while the race to the bottom has continued. At the same time, neither the gender perspective nor the experience of small labour organisations has been given much attention. This paper contributes to the debat...

This article provides an introduction to and overview of the current ‘state of affairs’ about the connections between globalization, gender, labour and resistance.

Bolivia is a country that has advanced substantially regarding women’s representation in politics. In fact, at a global level, Bolivia rivals Rwanda at both the national and local representation levels. This is particularly true at the local level where several women from all social conditions and ethnicity groups have become the majority of munici...

There is also broad literature regarding the consequences by gender of neoliberal restructuring, but literature on transnational organizing of women to resist free trade integration schemes is scarce.

The paper claims that one has to analyze the Soviet Union s relations with Latin America in several respects: revolutionary, pragmatic, and ideological. The Soviet Union's penetration and influence in Latin America is a result more of accidental events than of a conscious strategy. Political changes towards a more positive picture of socialism have...

This article discusses Soviet policy toward Central America, the Caribbean, and members of the Contadora group, and it compares the Soviet approach with Cuban policy. Since the 1970s Latin America has become a major center of interest to the Soviet Union. Soviet policy toward the region can best be characterized as a low-risk, low-profile strategy,...

Dentro de este despertar, la participación ciudadana de las mujeres destaca particularmente. Son en su mayor parte mujeres las que animan los nuevos movimientos ciudadanos de los 90s.
