Hey,
So, the book I recommended covers the first half of the syllabus, till the theories section. It also contains a section on the gender analysis of development theories, though it does not cover the Gender and Development part of the syllabus entirely.
As far as the remainder of the syllabus is concerned, for Gender and Development you could consult either 'Reversed Realities,' or Caroline Moser's book and read the relevant chapters. For the topic of Globalization, you could consult the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy;
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/fe...globalization/
For Gender and Violence, you will have to search online for relevant articles.
For Pakistan specific readings, read "Crime or Custom: Violence Against Women in Pakistan," published by Human Rights Watch in 1999. And, Amnesty International's 1999 publication, "Pakistan: Violence against women in the name of Honour."
For something more recent, you'll have to google.
For Gender and Governance, Homa Hoodfar and Mona Tajali's article, "Making Quotas work for women," is available for downloading online.
And, google gender and governance you will find a plethora of articles, however, based on your judgement select those which are credible.
For the Status of Women in Pakistan, Sanchita Bhattachariya's article could be useful. Google it, it'll be the first entry in your search results.
If you have access to a library or can find and buy the book, do read "Finding Our Way," by Fareha Zafar. This book traces the Feminist Movement in Pakistan and might prove useful.
Basically, you'll have to google and read a book each, mentioned for the topics in the syllabus. The course is pretty comprehensive, so I'd suggest that first of all one develops a vocabulary of gender studies by understanding its basics and then studies the specific dimensions. So, if one doesn't know what biological determinism means in the context of gender studies the subject might prove difficult to handle, in my opinion.
