MAIER, Elizabeth. International agreements and gender equality: an analysis of Mexico's obligations. Pap. poblac [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.53, pp.175-202. ISSN 2448-7147.

This article refers to the relationship between women's organizing as gendered subjects; the elaboration and growing precision of theoretical categories and concepts that interpret women's subaltern social position, and the instrumentation of international conventions and accords that help shape the reorganization of national and local sexual political economies, their symbols, representations, and judicial codes. It specifically analyzes the social and symbolic significance of the obligations that Mexico has acquired by signing and ratifying various international conventions on gender equity, and which have directly conformed national gender policies, emphasizing at the same time, the implications of each agreement on what Giddens has called "democratizing democracy".
