How can a feminist agenda be integrated into the World Trade Organization?

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is two-fold. First, it provides a feminist critique of neoclassical economics and the neo-liberal agenda with regard to trade liberalization policies and questions why a feminist agenda needs to be integrated into the World Trade Organization. Second, it evaluates the initiatives of three feminist organizations and past experiences of women's opposition groups to outline how a feminist agenda can be integrated into the WTO by means of a multi-faceted good governance approach.
