“…Social globalisation has been shown to promote women's rights and gender equality. Cho () examines whether globalisation influenced women's rights: women's rights as measured by the composite CIRI which encompasses women's economic rights such as rights for equal pay and work; women's social rights including, for example, the right for equal inheritance and equal marriage; and women's political rights including, for example, the right to vote and run for political office. The CIRI indices assume values between 0 (minimum of women's rights) and 3 (maximum of women's rights).…”

“…By contrast, no variable measuring economic and social globalisation was correlated with women's political rights. In her well‐executed study, Cho (, p. 7) explicitly addresses reverse causality between women's rights and globalisation. Reverse causality is likely to arise because ‘the active participation of women in society may increase information and personal exchanges across countries because there will be a larger pool of internet users, travelers etc’.…”

“…As compared to the baseline ordered probit model, using the IV approach does not confirm any influence of trade openness or information flows on women's economic rights. For robustness tests, Cho () employs EBA. The results confirm that personal contacts improved women's economic rights and information flows improved women's social rights.…”

Globalisation is blamed for many socioeconomic shortcomings. I discuss the consequences of globalisation by surveying the empirical globalisation literature. My focus is on the KOF indices of globalisation that have been used in more than 100 studies. Early studies using the KOF index reported correlations between globalisation and several outcome variables. Studies published more recently identify causal effects. The evidence shows that globalisation has spurred economic growth, promoted gender equality and improved human rights. Moreover, globalisation did not erode welfare state activities, did not have any significant effect on labour market interaction and hardly influenced market deregulation. It increased, however, within‐country income inequality. The consequences of globalisation thus turn out to be overall much more favourable than often conjectured in the public discourse.

“…Providing information about government respect for women's rights in nearly all of the world's countries over three decades, it has the important advantage of providing for a relatively exhaustive analysis and is thus often used as a measure of gender equality (see, e.g., Cho, 2013;Neumayer and de Soysa, 2011;Richards and Gelleny, 2007). This continuous scale focuses on women's economic, political and social rights, documenting the extensiveness of laws pertaining to women-relevant sets of rights, their enforcement by the government, and government practices towards women in relation to these rights.…”

Does exposure to other cultures affect the impact of economic globalization on gender equality?

An extensive literature shows that economic globalization has a positive effect on gender equality. However, the effect varies greatly across countries and time. This article argues that social globalization -individuals' exposure to external ideas, people, and information flows -and the changes in values associated with it -is a key boundary condition for the effect of economic globalization on women's rights. While economic globalization opens up new opportunities for women, policy adaptation to these changes requires a social demand for efforts for change. Social globalization contributes to policy adaptation by exposing the public to alternative gender-role models, setting off a shift in values, which underlies support for gender equality. Results emerging from a time-series-cross-sectional analysis of 152 nations for the period 1990-2003 confirm that the positive effect of economic globalization on gender equality wanes at lower levels of social globalization. Further, multilevel-path-analyses models demonstrate how changes to individual-level values mediate the effect of globalization on individuals' support for gender equality.

“…Political globalization could decrease the likelihood of protest by providing alternative political tools through which citizens can voice their dissent and by reducing grievances. Earlier research finds that political globalization is associated with lower levels of state repression (De Soysa and Vadlamannati, ; Dreher, Gassebner, and Siemers, ) and fewer women's rights violations (Cole, ; Cho, ). The reduction of repression associated with more political globalization would subsequently lead to different groups, especially marginalized groups, experiencing fewer grievances, and fewer reasons to protest.…”

Objectives We advance hypotheses on the extent to which the three main aspects of globalization—economic, political, and social—fuel mass protest and delineate how these effects can be especially instrumental in understanding collective mass mobilization among a historically disadvantaged group, women. Methods We use new and updated data on anti‐government protest to examine the covariates of protest intensity cross‐nationally over time. Results Results from the data analysis indicate that while political globalization is associated with reduced women's protest, social globalization is associated with increased women's and non‐women's protest. Further, economic globalization has somewhat divergent effects on women's and non‐women's protest. Conclusions Results from our thorough analysis of the three main aspects of globalization highlight the varying effects that different dimensions of globalization have on political protest. Our study offers a unique analysis of the factors associated with protest by women and compares it to other types of protest.
