"Understanding Global Poverty introduces students to the study and analysis of poverty,
helping them to understand why it is pervasive across human societies, and how it
can be reduced through proven policy solutions. The book uses the capabilities and
human development approach to foreground the human aspects of poverty, keeping the
voices, experiences and needs of the world's poor central to the analysis. Starting
with definitions and measurement, the book goes on to explore the causes of poverty
and how poverty reduction programs and policy have responded in practice. The book
also reflects on the ethics of why we should work to reduce poverty and what actions
readers themselves can take. This new edition has been revised and updated throughout,
featuring: a new chapter on migration and refugees additional international examples,
including material on Mexico, Covid-19 in global perspective, and South-South development
initiatives information on careers in international development; insights into how
various forms of social difference, including race, ethnicity, social class, gender,
and sexuality relate to poverty. Fully interdisciplinary in approach, the book is
also supplemented with case studies, discussion questions and further reading suggestions
in order to support learning. Perfect as an introductory textbook for students across
sociology, global development, political science, anthropology, public health and
economics, Understanding Global Poverty will also be a valuable resource to policy
makers and development practitioners"
