    Advancing Feminist Thinking on Globalization
    (University of Hawaiʻi Press, 2008) Mironesco, Monique; Ferguson, Kathy E.
    We bring this intellectual and political journey to an end, not with a final summary or act of closure, but with our reflections on what we have learned and where we might go from here. While no single or unified conclusion is available, or indeed desired, to sum up this complex, layered material, the collective force of these analyses makes fresh thinking possible. Returning to the three umbrella themes we developed in our introduction, we find that the first two—representations/reproductions and spaces/borders—have endured while morphing in unanticipated directions, but the third—voices/bodies—has dispersed among the others and an unexpected newcomer—methods of scholarship/ activism—has joined the fray.

    Introductory chapter to Gender and Globalization in Asia and the Pacific: Method, Practice, Theory
    (University of Hawaiʻi Press, 2008) Mironesco, Monique; Ferguson, Kathy E.; Merry, Sally Engle

    What is globalization? How is it gendered? How does it work in the complex and varied societies of Asia and the Pacific?

    This collection of sixteen original essays offers critical feminist analyses of dynamic global processes. We take our three anchor concepts—gender, globalization, Asia/Pacific—as points on an interactive triangle. There is no single starting point, but rather an energetic and changing set of relationships among the three areas. Each point both causes and is affected by changes in the others. Our inquiries are produced out of the vigorous intellectual energy our triad of concepts provokes. We take fresh stock of globalization’s complexities, pursue critical feminist inquiry about women, gender, and sexualities, and produce new insights into changing life patterns in Asian and Pacific Island societies.
