Abstract | This chapter examines the effects on gender of globalisation and society in South Asia countries mainly Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Global pressures for change have produced isomorphic effects on women in ways that perpetuate more of the same patriarchal practices disempowering women. The chapter focuses mainly on women in community since this represents the great majority of disempowered agency. The chapter outlines the influences of globalisation on gender, global expectations and a relational approach to examine gendered roles. The potential of socially mobile groups is discussed including how institutional isomorphism places gender advancements within the context of societal norms versus learning and change in emerging industries. |
