Document Summary

The logic of globalization is premised on masculine projects that support risk-taking. The gendered dimension of globalization referred to power relations between men and women. The gendered hierarchical order are created in line with socially masculine constructions. Part of the aim is to emphasize that gender identities and subjectivity are produced within production processes. Global arrangements have a differential effect on men and women. Young women are drawn into production as key labourers within the supply chain. Tncs use the social construction of gender and its ideology to their economic advantage to feminize (construct division of labour based on) the cheap labour of women. One of the key observations of global production processes is that globalization has widened the distance where it is product, how, and where it is consumed. ^-distance between where a thing is produced, how it is s produced, and where it is consumed has widened under globalization.
