| Documentation of Summer School 2005 The Summer School 2005 of HBF, “Engendering Economic Policies in a Globalising World”, focused on the WTO-Agreement on Agriculture (AoA), on the liberalisation in the agricultural sector and the globalisation of free trade in food. |
| Women are specially affected by agricultural politics as small-scale farmers, as workers on fields, in food production and the trade chain, as consumers, and providers of care and nutrition in private households. The multilateral Agreement on Agriculture has been one of the most controversial issues within the WTO, i.e. at the WTO-Ministerial-meeting in December 2005 in Hong Kong.
The Summer School 2005 aimed at building capacities with regard to macro-economic policies in the field of agriculture and wanted to demystify the pretended gender neutrality of trade agreements, liberalisation processes, and the WTO-regime. It analysed the linkages between macro-economic policies and micro-economic structures, in particular women’s livelihoods using concepts and tools of feminist economics.
