Patriarchal bargains in protected spaces: a new strategy for agricultural and rural development innovation in the western hills of Nepal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper integrates the theory of patriarchal bargains and strategic niche management theory to study whether or not creating strategic niches of struggle and negotiation as opposed to indiscriminate gender mainstreaming can help secure rural women's rights. Empirical data for this study were collected on rural women's tasks, resources, and benefits in the Kaski district of western Nepal using mixed methods. Findings suggest that unless women find a protected niche in which they can struggle and negotiate for their rights, patriarchal bargains would not be successful, partly because of women's lower control over land and services associated with land.Résumé Cet article combine les approches de la négociation au sein des structures patriarcales et de la gestion stratégique de niche pour évaluer comment se comparent la création de niches stratégiques de lutte et de négociation et l'approche intégrée de l’égalité des sexes (gender mainstreaming) dans l'avancement et la sécurisation des droits des femmes rurales. À cette fin, l’étude a récolté et analysé des données sur le partage des tâches, des ressources et des bénéfices entre les femmes et les hommes du district de Kaski dans l'ouest du Népal. Les résultats indiquent qu'en partie à cause de leur plus faible niveau de contrôle sur l'accès à la terre et aux services liés au travail de la terre, les femmes ne sont pas bien servies par la négociation au sein des structures patriarcales à moins de trouver une niche protégée dans laquelle elles peuvent lutter et engager des négociations pour leurs droits.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
