Special Issue Introduction: Gender and Development

Abstract

This special issue of the Journal of Law, Social Justice & Global Development (LGD) focuses on gender and development, drawing to a close a recent annual theme of Warwick University’s Global Research Priority on International Development (GRP ID). The LGD aims to provide a home for cutting edge research on key issues that shape development in a profoundly unequal and conflict-ridden world; to promote knowledge exchange; and to enable scholars from the global South to present their work to a global audience. This collection of papers was selected from an open call for papers encouraging contributions from gender and feminist perspectives across the broadly defined field of development studies.
