China's infamous \"one child\" policy is a well-known example of reproductive politics, but history is filled with other examples of governmental population control to advance its interests. \u003cem\u003eReproductive States\u003c\/em\u003e is the first volume of a collection of case studies that explores when and how some of the most populous countries in the world invented and implemented state population policies in the 20th century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors, scholars specializing in reproductive politics, survey population policies from key countries on five continents to provide a global perspective. Regardless of the type of government or its cultural history, many of these countries have developed similar policies to control their populations and attempt to combat social problems such as poverty and hunger. However, the common denominator is that states have used women's bodies as a political resource. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFar from being just an overseas problem, this volume illustrates how other countries have developed their strategies in response to goals and tactics driven by the United Nations and the United States. Due to fears of a post-World War II \"population bomb\" and uncertainty of how to deal with the world's poor after the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union led the charge among nations to devise strategies to control their populations, but in different ways. The U.S. and some European countries pressed the poor and ethnic minorities to limit reproduction. China's \"one child\" policy targeted all ranks of society, while Soviet women (who already had few rights) were under surveillance through state-planned services such as medical care and commodity distribution to detect pregnancy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInterweaving biopolitics, gender studies, statecraft, and world systems, \u003cem\u003eReproductive States\u003c\/em\u003e offer reflections on the outcome of such policies and their legacies in our day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRickie Solinger \u003c\/strong\u003eis a historian and curator.
