Abstract
The research report explores the ways in which the networks of women
cross-border traders challenge or affirm traditional conceptions of
citizenship and gender relations. Located within the context of
globalisation and the associated llberallsatlon policies, it analyses what
types of social relationships are necessary to participate in the market and
how through these economic activities, social relationships are
subsequently shaped. (Abbreviation abstract)
