Title Gender, Development and the UN: A Critical Analysis of the Discourses and Policies Aimed at Engendering the UN Millennium Development Goals
Summary The thesis aims to examine the discourses and policies around engendering the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), eight development targets adopted in the UN Millennium Declaration in 2000, to be achieved by the year 2015. It takes a look at the historical aspects of the UN’s incorporating gender into the MDGs by examining discourses around this process as well as studying the UN policies and recommendations, and suggestions addressed to the UN (including those following official adoption of the goals) on how to integrate gender into strategies of achieving the MDGs. The thesis investigates the political process of establishing the MDGs in order to locate the debates around establishing them and more importantly, mainstreaming gender into these targets.
