What do we learn about the relationship between government and the economy from this case? Is it possible for women to achieve full equality when they are the only producers of children? Does/should the state have an interest in equality outside of economic production?
Gender politics of inclusion
Group Two: focus on gender
Read the case study from the textbook on Iran. What do we learn about the relationship between government and the economy from this case? Is it possible for women to achieve full equality when they are the only producers of children? Does/should the state have an interest in equality outside of economic production? Why or why not?
Then, find a current event article focused on gender from a country outside of the United States that is NOT Iran. Share the link with your group. In what ways is the country you are examining using an approach similar or different from the case studies? In what ways is the outcome better or worse according to your standards of what the state should do?
