Routledge Engendering Transformative Change in Development

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals requires more than just broad ambitions. To truly end poverty and protect the planet, the international community must address the deep-seated issues of inequity and exclusion. This Routledge publication explores how gender and intersecting social hierarchies influence global progress. This book examines the social norms and cultural judgments that impact the effectiveness of development work. It challenges readers to look beyond simple categorical approaches and instead consider the complex relationship between knowledge and power. By understanding how marginalization and inequality function, practitioners and students can better grasp the realities of the "no one left behind" mission. As part of the Routledge Explorations in Development Studies series, this text provides a deep look into the social sciences, anthropology, and sociology of development. It is an essential resource for those studying how to create lasting change in a world shaped by complex social structures.
