Note(s) : "The effect of globalization on poverty and inequality is a key issue in contemporary
international politics yet it has been neglected in international relations and comparative
politics literatures. Arie M. Kacowicz explores the complex relationship between globalization
and the distribution of wealth as a political problem in international relations,
analyzing them through the prism of poverty and inequality. He develops a political
framework (an 'intermestic model') which captures the interaction between the international
and the domestic domains and explains those effects with a particular emphasis upon
the state and its relations with society. He also specifies the different hypotheses
about the possible links between globalization and the distribution of wealth and
tests them in the context of Latin America during the years 1982-2008, with a particular
focus on Argentina and the deep crisis it experienced in 2001-2"--
