Beginning in the 1970s, neoliberal policies have been implemented to resolve the economic crisis due to the stage of capital reaches in all over the world. These policies associated with liberating market and reducing government expenditures. The policies designed by international institutions aimed to create development through economic growth.

The socio-economic effect of this transformation process on the societies in developing countries has been a popular research subject in the development literature. However recent research has revealed that the development process does not have the same effect on women`s and men`s economic and social position in developing countries. Regarding to this fact, today women-gender and development approach is the most functional theoretical tool by researching women’s experiences in development process. In this context, the main aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of women-gender and development approach by scrutinizing its emergence and progress within development literature.

ANA AKIM KALKINMA LITERATÜRÜNE ALTERNATİF BİR BAKIŞ AÇISI: KADIN-TOPLUMSAL CİNSİYET VE KALKINMA YAKLAŞIMININ ORTAYA ÇIKIŞ VE GELİŞİMİ

Öz

1970’lerden
itibaren sermayenin tüm dünyada ulaştığı aşamada ortaya çıkan krizi çözmek için
pazarın serbestleşmesi ve devlet harcamaların azaltılması gibi neoliberal
politikalar uygulamaya konulmuştur. Uluslararası kuruluşlar tarafından
tasarlanan bu politikalar ekonomik büyüme yoluyla kalkınmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Söz konusu dönüşüm sürecinin kalkınmakta olan ülkeler üzerindeki sosyo-ekonomik
etkisi kalkınma literatüründe önemli araştırma alanlarından biri olmuştur.
Diğer yandan daha yakın zamanlı araştırmalar kalkınma sürecinin söz konusu
ülkelerde yaşayan kadınlar ve erkekler üzerinde farklı etkileri olduğunu ortaya
çıkartmıştır. Günümüzde Kadın – Toplumsal cinsiyet ve Kalkınma Yaklaşımı
kalkınma sürecinde kadınların deneyimlerini araştırmada en işlevsel teorik
perspektif olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu bağlamda bu makalede Kadın – Toplumsal
cinsiyet ve Kalkınma yaklaşımının kalkınma literatüründe ortaya çıkış ve
gelişim aşamaları incelenecek ve farklılıkları ortaya konulacaktır.
