Gayatri Rajapatni's Leadership Strategy as a Revolutionary Woman Designer of the Majapahit Empire's Vision
No full textModern societies view women as equal to men, especially in government. conversely, societies with traditional stigmas view women as having power only in the domestic sphere. Historically, Javanese women, particularly in the ancient Javanese era, held a strategic position in shaping government policy. This is evident in the presence of Gayatri Rajapatni in the Majapahit Kingdom. Gayatri served as an advisor to the king and a policy maker, although she was not legally the queen. This study aims to determine the leadership strategy of Gayatri Rajapatni, a figure behind the success of Majapahit. This study used historical research methods and resulted in an analysis of Gayatri Rajapatni's leadership strategy in building the Majapahit Empire. The author concludes that Gayatri Rajapatni employed various leadership strategies to implement her vision for Majapahit's glory, namely by developing tactics and leadership patterns inherited from her father (Kertanegara)
Estimating the Endogenously Determined Intrahousehold Balance of Power and Its Impact on Expenditure Pattern: Evidence from Nepal
No full textThe collective approach to household
behavior relaxes the restrictive features of the unitary
model by specifying household welfare as a weighted
combination of the individuals' utilities. But the
weights are assumed fixed or exogenous to the analysis. The
authors extend the collective approach by proposing and
estimating a framework where the weights are determined and
simultaneously estimated with the household outcomes. The
authors present Nepalese evidence that suggests that a
woman's share of household earnings understates her
"power" in making household decisions. An increase
in the woman's educational experience leads to a rise
in her bargaining power. The results also reveal some
interesting nonmonotonic relationships between a
woman's "power" and the household's
expenditure outcomes

Global Momentum and Survey Research Priorities
No full textRural economies are in transition around
the world; in many countries, improved technology and
linkages across sectors have expanded access to markets and
accelerated production for some farmers. At the same time,
rural areas globally are facing a growing base of landless
and smallholder farmers, out-migration to urban areas, and
persistence of low-skilled, informal, and seasonal jobs
where women are often heavily concentrated. Recent global
initiatives are examining programs that can effectively
raise rural incomes, including how addressing shortfalls in
wome's hours worked and earnings can raise rural
productivity and growth. But well-designed policies to
address these issues require improved counting of
individuals' employment, accounting for the complexity
of measuring rural women's labor force participation,
as well as data on social, economic, and institutional
constraints that women face in seeking better economic
opportunities. Using recent rounds of the Ethiopia, Malawi,
Nigeria, and Uganda Living Standards and Measurement
Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture, as well as findings
from recent country pilots conducted by the International
Labour Organization, this paper discusses best practices and
issues to consider when examining rural women's
employment in socioeconomic surveys, as well as a survey
research agenda to improve measurement
How Infrastructure and Financial Institutions Affect Rural Income and Poverty: Evidence from Bangladesh
No full textThe mechanisms by which the poor benefit from economic growth remain a topic of debate in development literature. We address this issue in the context of rural Bangladesh, using a pooled dataset of three household panels between 1991-2001. Expansion of irrigation, paved roads, electricity, and access to formal and informal credit have (through different veins) led to higher rural farm and non-farm incomes, accounting for exogenous local agroclimatic endowments that explain a large part of the variation in the growth of infrastructure and credit programmes. However, this has not translated into substantial reductions in poverty for the poorest households.

Gayatri Spivak: ethics, subalternity and the critique of postcolonial reason
No full textThis study offers an advanced and sustained analysis of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s thought. In particular, it traces the ethical dimension of Spivak’s thought in and through her persistent critique of Marxism, feminism, deconstruction and postcolonial studies. In so doing, the book seeks to argue that what underpins Spivak’s essays and interventions is a political commitment to achieve what she calls a relation of ethical singularity with the subaltern. The book offers a concise and authoritative introduction to the work of this increasingly important thinker; it is written by an author with an established reputation as a critic and interpreter of Spivak's work; it provides an in-depth analysis of Spivak's relationship to postcolonialism, feminism, Marxism, and subaltern studies; it deals with the complete trajectory of Spivak's writing, from her early translations of Derrida, to her recent contributions to debates on human rights, terrorism and globalization; and it addresses some of Spivak's most recent writings

Fanon and the intelligent machine; concerning violence, Part 2. Reflections from a conversation with Gayatri Spivak
No full textTaking the form of a series of reflections emerging from a conversation between the author and critic Gayatri Spivak, this article turns the exploration of the question concerning violence to the significance of Frantz Fanon as healer, image, exemplar and, following the term coined by cinema philosopher and filmmaker Jean Epstein, photo-electric psychoanalyst. It advances on the exploration of the significance of the cinematographer and the camera as a tool for acceleration that by focusing on discontinuity allows a singular attention to voices that utter and images or gazes that confront us with contradiction thereby permitting to verify the universality of forms of justice and subjectivities in search for justice and liberation
