Capturing the complexities of globalization in fisheries: gendered divisions of labour and divisions of labour and difference
2012
Hapke, Holly M.
The gendered nature of globalization has received considerable analysis across several economic sectors, and much has been learned about its general impacts, although less about the specifics. Within a particular locale and/or general pattern of impact, what factors shape a person or group’s ability to adapt to changing economic contexts? Why are some groups and/or individuals more adversely impacted than others? Using the fisheries sector of Kerala, India, as a case study, this paper delineates a framework for understanding complexity and difference within general gendered patterns of economic processes. Combining feminist commodity chain analysis, livelihoods analysis, and insights from feminist studies of gender and development, I examine different impacts of globalization rooted in gender divisions of labour, and assess their implications for fisher folk livelihoods. The results are usually complex and often paradoxical.
