- catalog abstract ""Studying the impact of gender relations on the operations of multinational firms, Fashioning Inequality highlights the role of recruitment practices and, through this analysis, provides a critique of the notion of the 'progressive firm' that has dominated liberal writings on economic globalization. Juanita Elias develops a theoretical challenge to mainstream liberal writings on the multinational firm, questioning the neo-liberal orthodoxy, in particular the belief that the market, as a separate sphere from society, acts to undermine 'backward' social practices and ideas. Drawing upon theoretical insights from both feminist economists and economic sociologists, the book suggests that social inequalities are an integral way in which markets operate. This original book will appeal to scholars of international political economy, industrial relations and organizational behaviour, feminist economics, gender and development studies and to the international business/strategic management audience."--Jacket.".
