Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Trade Agreements and Women explores how trade agreements might be altered to more effectively address women's interests. The book provides gender-sensitive guidance for preparing, revising, and negotiating trade regulations in an inclusive manner, ensuring that they work for all.
MoreLong description:
With more and more countries including provisions on women's concerns in their trade agreements, Trade Agreements and Women: Transcending Barriers explores how women's empowerment and trade liberalization interact, overlap, and converge.
Tapping into examples from across the globe, and taking into consideration the diverse political, economic, social, and legal contexts of different countries, Amrita Bari poses and answers some key questions: What role can trade agreements play with regard to women's empowerment, and what limitations do they have? Have previous efforts to include women through trade agreements been genuinely responsive to the needs of women, or have they been merely symbolic? What, ultimately, makes a trade agreement responsive to the needs of women, and how can countries achieve this in their own trade agreements?
In answering these questions, Bahri carves out a roadmap, with concrete recommendations, for the future of women-related trade provisions, and offers much-needed guidance for legal scholars, trade negotiators, and policymakers involved in preparing, revising, and inclusively negotiating trade regulations.
This is a remarkable book as it courageously raises all the right, but sometimes uncomfortable, questions and masterly guides us in our own search for answers. What are the barriers to women's economic empowerment and how are they related to trade? Can trade agreements play a role in overcoming these barriers? What can be learned from efforts already made in this regard? What should/could be done next to ensure that trade genuinely works for all, particularly those who have been historically marginalized, as women have? Amrita Bahri's timely book makes an important contribution to the discussion on how trade agreements can maximize the benefits and minimize the negative impact that trade may have on women.
