The book reviews a decade of women's participation in UN conferences, transnational networks, national advocacy efforts and sexual and reproductive health provision, assessing both their strengths and weaknesses. It critiques the Cairo, Beijing and Copenhagen conference documents and World Bank, WHO and health sector reform policies. It also offers case studies of national-level reform and advocacy efforts and appraises the controversy concerning TRIPS, trade, and essential AIDS drugs. That controversy, Petchesky argues, starkly illuminates the 'collision course' of transnational corporate and global trade agendas with the struggle for gender, racial and regional equity and the human right to health. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author takes into account the formidable political and ideological forces confronting global justice movements and also offers a sobering reassessment of transnational women's NGOs themselves and such problems as 'NGOization', fragmentation and donor-dependency. Petchesky argues that the power of women's transnational coalitions is only as great as their organic connection with grassroots social movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosalind Pollack Petchesky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1842770071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842770078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.36w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2004 pg. 1515\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen's Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 28","brand":"Rosalind Pollack Petchesky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938912272639,"sku":"9781842770078","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ba49b633-58f6-49f6-bc5f-81456374ceea.jpg?v=1681438408","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-prescriptions-rosalind-pollack-petchesky-9781842770078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
