| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Feminist International Political Economy (IPE), with its focus on the gendered dimensions of social reproduction and market life, provides ground for fruitful engagements between IPE and IPS. Indeed, from this perspective, the boundaries between IPE and IPS are much more porous than assumed in some other contributions to this forum. Pushing against the boundaries of narrowly demarcated disciplinary divides is something that feminist political economists have been actively engaged in since the early days. Our approach is one in which we call for a simultaneous recognition of both the ‘International’ and the ‘Everyday’ in research agendas, speaking as much to new research directions in the field of IPE as to writings in IPS. To illustrate our claim, this short piece reflects on a recent research project into the gendered everyday political economy of housing resettlement schemes in Jakarta, Indonesia – pointing to the interrelationships between everyday gendered practices of work, finance and caring, and how these relationships come to be transformed within the context of the global city. Such an intervention, we hope, points to the significant insights that a feminist lens brings to the development of an ever more sociologically informed international studies. |
