Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The paper is a preliminary attempt to test some prevailing approaches regarding the impacts of economic reforms (such as Structural Adjustment Programs or SAPs), their consequences (such as trade openness, foreign direct investment etc.), culture, and politics on women’s access to resources and their decision making power. This is also an attempt to combine internal and external factors in determining women’s condition reflected in their access to resources and decision making power. My preliminary findings suggest that not all components of economic reforms and their consequences have adverse effects for women in the long run while several of these increase women’s decision making power. Further, the cultures thought to be patriarchal (e.g. Islamic culture, Latino culture etc.) may not decrease women’s access to resources while they may decrease their decision making power in general. Political freedom & civil rights increase women’s both access to resources and their decision making power.

Do they talk about power? Policy frames on gender inequality in politics as a threshold for women to positions of political decision-making
