Dissertation Project
Gendered Knowledge in the Global Political Economy: Explaining the Gendered Politics and Practices of Multilateral Development Banks
Abstract
This research project investigates the production, dissemination, and impact of gendered knowledge within multilateral development banks (MDBs) and the influence of ideas on international development financing and programming. Drawing from Feminist IPE and everyday political economy literature, this project disaggregates productive power.
Through comparative qualitative case studies of the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the African Development Bank, this study uses document analysis and elite interviewing to explore how gendered knowledge is created and its impact on governance practices through intra- and inter-organizational relationships.
