Juanita Elias - new book published
(PaIS) and Samananthi Gunawardana (Monash University) have a edited collection out called the Global Political Economy of the Household in Asia. The book features contributions that: (a) examine how the household is increasingly being incorporated into development planning and policy making; (b) considerthe social consequencies of the tendancy to view households as marketizable spaces; and (c) explore how the household economy relates to broader structures of industrial production in the region.
The book's case studies on Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and China, provide a comprehensive picture of the centrality of the household to ongoing processes and struggles associated with the continuous economic transformation of the region.
