Trade Agreements and Women: Transcending Barriers
This book explores whether and how trade agreements can enhance women empowerment, how they might be altered to more effectively address such interests, and what different negotiating options countries have for including women’s concerns in their future trade agreements. With a multitude of trade negotiations ongoing and an increasing demand for attention to non-trade issues on the verge of trade cooperation, this book presents a unique tool for trade negotiators and policymakers to address the topic of women empowerment in the trade policy context. It provides timely contributions and guidance for policymakers to prepare, revise, and negotiate new norms to regulate trade in an inclusive manner and to ensure that it works for all including women.
