Providing a comprehensive feminist political economy analysis of gender and global trade, this book challenges existing approaches to gender in global trade governance that prioritise market-based solutions to inequality. The authors reveal how the power dynamics shaping trade governance unfold on gendered terrain. Tracing the emergence of gender mainstreaming in trade and its implementation in digital and food trade, they caution that dominant `free trade feminist' approaches risk perpetuating gender-based and intersectional inequalities. Weaving rigorous academic theory with cutting-edge policy analysis, they disrupt conventional wisdom about women's empowerment in trade and establish a feminist research agenda for transformative trade governance.
