Abstract

The gendered nature of globalization has received considerable analysis across several economic sectors and much has been learned about its general impacts although less about the specifics. Within a particular locale and/or general pattern of impact what factors shape a person or groups ability to adapt to changing economic contexts Why are some groups and/or individuals more adversely impacted than others Using the fisheries sector of Kerala India as a case study this paper delineates a framework for understanding complexity and difference within general gendered patterns of economic processes. Combining feminist commodity chain analysis livelihoods analysis and insights from feminist studies of gender and development I examine different impacts of globalization rooted in gender divisions of labour and assess their implications for fisher folk livelihoods. The results are usually complex and often paradoxical.
