It redresses imbalance in literature on varieties of capitalism by examining gender relations and the role of women in new economic activities. It uniquely combines theoretical discussion and comparative empirical material from four countries - the UK, US, Germany and Japan. It uses gender as a lens to develop and move beyond current theorization of globalization and the new economy.Comparing the UK, US, Germany and Japan, this book draws on innovative concepts of varieties of gender regime as well as varieties of capitalism. The volume re-thinks the processes of de-gendering and re-gendering of working practices in the context of both de-regulation and re-regulation of employment. Book Description: Demonstrates the ways in which gender transforms the understanding of the new knowledge-based economy, addressing the nature of knowledge and what constitutes the newness of current employment forms.
