Global economic governance and gender inequality: an agenda for the Brazilian legal research

Abstract

This article explores a subject, which is still absent in Brazilian legal research: the intersection between law, global economic governance, and gender inequality. It critically examines how international organizations, mainly the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), are gender mainstreaming their recommendations on economic rules and policies. The article also builds a theoretical framework that draws on two institutionalist approaches: feminist and legal institutionalism.

Keywords:
Economic Law; Gender; Global economic governance; Institutionalism
