Unfolding Women's Engagement with Development and the UN:
Pointers for the Future
Abstract
This article reveals how the engagement of women with development ideas and approaches challenged mainstream views and programmes, and reclaimed agency – that is, the power to define the agenda. Through description and analysis of six decades of this engagement, it comes to the conclusion that all three groups of actors – that is, women as represented by the international women's movement; those involved in development as currently articulated through the liberal economics paradigm; and the UN, weakened by the entry of financial and corporate global players – need to rethink their basic ideas and approaches.
