This edited book critically examines if and how Gender and Development can address the contemporary challenges of the 21st century, focusing on the perspectives of scholars and practitioners from Australia and the Pacific. While Gender and Development has been highly influential, it is not without criticism. Gender and Development has been critiqued for giving insufficient attention to intersectionality and the racial and colonial dimensions of 'development', as well as issues of sexuality and sexual diversity. This book ties together current theory and specific case studies, to showcase how Gender and Development has been practiced in the region and how it can be further developed and improved. With the core principles of Gender and Development remaining salient for today, this book provides unique insights as to how Gender and Development can be revitalised for scholars of development studies, gender studies, sociology, political science, geography, law and public policy.
