| Abstract
|
:
|
This book brings together works by experts from around the world, illuminating the reproductive policies of Brazil, China, Egypt, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, and Nigeria, as well as of course the USSR?Russia, and the United States. Surveying population policies from key countries on five continents, these experts show when and how some of the most populous countries in the world implemented state population policies in the 20th century - often in response to United Nations and American policy. Regardless of the type of government or its cultural history, many of these nations have developed similar policies to control their populations and attempt to combat social problems, such as poverty and hunger. The common denominator among all reproductive policies, however, has been the perception of women's bodies as a political resource. Interweaving biopolitics, gender studies, statecraft, and world systems, Reproductive States is the first book of its kind, both because of its global reach and its impressive scope, providing invaluable insight into the source of reproductive policies and their enduring legacies. -- from back cover
