Objective
The slow pace of the progress towards global gender equality has brought to spotlight the historical causes of the problem, and inspired much research while the relation observed today between gender regimes and development has come to link gender inequality with the debate on the Great Divergence. Yet much of this research so far pertains to Europe. The Global South, where inequality is higher, figures in the debates on feeble empirical grounds.
GINIE is motivated both by gender inequality as a political problem and the recent academic debates. It aims to (1) generate a map of gender regimes in the eastern Mediterranean in 1650-1900, and (2) examine (a) the determinants of these regimes and, (b) the gender regime’s impact on economic performance. Thereby, it aims to provide a solid empirical basis to compare the present map of inequality with the past and to fill a major gap in the literature on gender inequality and the rise of modern market society.
The main methodological novelty of the project is the creation of a gender gap index with four axes: physical wellbeing, economic power, human capital, and socio-political power, i.e. in terms analogous to contemporary indexes. Empirically, GINIE will unearth an unprecedented amount and combination of archival materials to build the largest database of its kind and bridge the history of several modern states in the southern Balkans, Anatolia, and the east Mediterranean seaboard. Its theoretical novelty lies in the juxtaposition of long-term structural factors (physical, institutional, cultural) with early modern and early industrial economic change from the perspective of (a) dependent/late growth and (b) general economic inequality, both of which have hitherto been overlooked in historical studies of gender.
The deliverables include workshops, one conference, two PhD dissertations, thirteen articles, one monograph, an edited volume of conference proceedings, and an open access database and a web portal.
