  • Description: The current discourse on development, gender, and the environment has emerged from a convergence of feminist and environmentalist critiques of economic development. This discourse is dominated by two paradigms: women in development and ecofeminism. Although the two paradigms have been influential in advancing women's issues in economics, this influence has been limited by the lack of understanding of the institutional nature of gender among the proponents of the paradigms. An institutional framework is suggested to analyze the intersection of development, gender, and the environment. This framework is based on an interpretation of gender specification as an institution in the Veblenian sense of habits of thought and on Polanyi's definition of the economy as instituted provisioning processes, thereby fully legitimizing gender specification as a subject of study from an economic viewpoint, and appreciating its role in determining the relative economic and social positions of women and men in society.
