Abstract: The articles in this special issue demonstrate that neoliberal globalization has a detrimental impact on most women and their families in the global South or Third World.These essays reveal that not only does globalization exacerbate their already subordinate position in the global political economy, but also that women are fighting back.They have devised various ways to resist the negative consequences of neoliberal policies and corporate globalization on their everyday lives and on their nation states. Their politics of resistance offers strategies, insights and practical ideas about how a better, more just world can be achieved.This concluding article focuses on the common themes that appear throughout the articles in this issue, and it gives particular attention to the contradictions of neoliberal globalization and how these contradictions create resistance to it as well as the search for equitable and empowering alternatives.
