Abstract: Abstract The centrality of building care economies as a necessary step towards gender justice requires a reassessment of global economic governance and state-centred multilateralism. Globalized structures of power can no longer be seen solely as matters of political borders of nation-states, which is the traditional remit of foreign policy. Rather than geography, it is negotiations over the boundaries of power that must be interrogated for the possibility of redrawing borders and boundaries as these are expressed in social relations where care functions are performed. Five spheres of engagement are identified and discussed. A short note on limitarianism raises a question about its value in a care economy and how ethics of care links to it.
