Abstract:
|
There is some evidence that there are gender differences in foreign policy priorities (Fite et al 1990; Papachristou 1990; Jeffries-Jones 1995; Pearson d'Estrée and Babbitt 1998; Jabri and O'Gorman 1999). In addition, there is evidence that countries where women make up a larger proportion of the legislature have more liberal development assistance policies (Breuning 2001). This study builds on that earlier work to ask whether the connection between women's representation and development assistance also entails a greater emphasis on aid to developing countries that emphasize women's empowerment. In other words, are the more liberal aid policies evidence of solidarity with women across borders? Do these policies seek to foster not just economic development generally but on women's development specifically? The paper will investigate these questions empirically. The geographical distribution of seventeen OECD donor states will be investigated for the relative emphasis on aid to states with a greater focus on women's empowerment or policies which promote social equity. The former would be evidence of a global sisterhood, while the latter would support the notion that women favor policies promoting greater social justice and equity (an alternative thesis). |
