Critical Analysis of the Efficacy of Law as a Tool to Achieve Gender Equality

In this book, Natalie Persadie explains that, among developing countries, the achievement of legal advances for women—at either the international or national levels—is particularly difficult where practical measures are not subsequently implemented. She examines the need for financial and human resources to make such legal measures effective.

Natalie Persadie holds a Ph.D. in international relations from the University of Birmingham, UK. She has co-authored several journal articles and books. Persadie is assistant professor at the University of Trinidad and Tobago and part-time lecturer at the University of the West Indies.
