The Women And International Development Annual, Volume 4

This fourth volume in the series is centred around the themes of women's status and organization for empowerment and change in the context of competing forces - forces of economic deterioration, political democratization, resurgent nationalism and social conflict. This book assesses the effects of recent efforts at coalition-building, in political parties and government as well as in local grass-roots groups, as a means of achieving improvement in the quality of women's lives.
