Description
Around 1.4 billion people presently live in extreme poverty, and yet despite this vast scale, the issue of global poverty had a relatively low international profile until the end of the 20th century. In this important new work, the author charts the rise of global poverty as a priority global issue, and its subsequent marginalization as old themes edged it aside (trade policy and peace-making in regions of geo-political importance) and new issues were added (terrorism, global climate change and access to natural resources). Providing a concise and detailed overview of both the history and the current debates that surround this key issue, the book: outlines how the notion of global poverty eradication has evolved, evaluates the institutional landscape and its ability to attack global poverty, explores the roles of major institutions, and discusses the emerging issues that are re-shaping thinking, and the future prospects for global poverty eradication.
