Wie werden geschlechterpolitische Forderungen im Feld internationaler Wirtschafts- und Handelspolitik eingebracht und in welcher Weise werden diese Forderungen von multilateralen Organisationen aufgegriffen? Dieses Buch zeichnet die Wege der geschlechterpolitischen Einflussnahme im Feld der Global Economic Governance nach. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass feministischen Ökonominnen und ihrem Wissen zum Thema Engendering Macroeconomics and International Economics eine zentrale Rolle für eine erfolgreiche Einflussnahme zukommt. Dieser "Erfolg" wird jedoch aus einer wissenspolitologischen und diskursanalytischen Perspektive eingehend analysiert und kritisch reflektiert. Das Buch leistet einen Beitrag zur feministischen Global Governance-Forschung sowie zu den Theoriediskussionen in der Policy Forschung.
