Women’s Socially Embedded Capabilities and Development: A Theory-based Empirical Investigation

Khan, Haider (2024): Women’s Socially Embedded Capabilities and Development: A Theory-based Empirical Investigation.

Abstract

In order to examine the formation of socially embedded capabilities (SEC) in the ASEAN region, we undertake an in-depth comparative dive into the relevant data for selected countries with special emphasis on the Philippines. We consider various dimensions of inclusivity and assess both the achievements so far and the failures in not just gender inclusivity but also ethno-religious and regional inclusivity. Furthermore, data barriers notwithstanding, whenever possible, intersectionality of location, class, gender and ethnicity are also explored through an application of socially embedded intersectional capabilities approach (SEICA)---an extension of the capabilities approach of Sen. The ASEAN identity can be analyzed and constructed further in an ethically desirable direction by using this extended capabilities approach. The data-intensive approach followed in this paper confirms this theoretical hypothesis.
