In a world filled with competing multinational corporations, a rising and falling global political economy, progressive advancements in technology and communication and immense inequality of wealth, globalization has become a buzzword often surrounded with expectations and misconceptions. Understanding what globalization does for those countries involved in the global political economy, along with what it fails to do, allows one to address the many social, political, and economic issues that plague the 21st century. One of the foremost issues being addressed globally over the past few decades is gender equality, particularly since The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly and the creation of the Millennium Development Goals in 2000. Globalization is anticipated to have a direct effect on gender roles and norms, because the developments surrounding globalization (i.e. creation of a world market, integration of modern technologies, mixing of cultural values) affect families and require a redefinition of the female sphere in society. Such global forces are increasingly challenging countries with strong cultural or religious values, which traditionally may undermine female political, economic and social participation. Even Muslim countries, often identified as anti-Western and in opposition to modernization, are embracing globalization and benefiting from the numerous changes that come with it, such as economic growth and gender equality. A cross-cultural case study of three Muslim countries, the United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan and Indonesia provide an interesting look at globalization's impact. In the Islamic cultures found in UAE and Indonesia, globalization has provided increased opportunity for women, whereas in Kazakhstan, while breaking away from its Soviet past globalization has created more challenges and fewer opportunities for women.
