Inhaltsangabe

Webster and Engberg-Pedersen (both of the Center for Development Research, Copenhagen, Denmark), arguing that neither state or market solutions are sufficient in addressing the needs of impoverished populations, present 11 contributions that address the political actions of the poor worldwide. Sharing an understanding that poverty is intimately intertwined with processes of political marginalization, the contributions seek to explain the relative levels of institutional access to policy formation and the shaping of political discourse in Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso, India, and Bangladesh. The editors argue that the poor must be seen as social actors, rather than inert objects, in order to fully realize successful poverty reduction strategies. Distributed by Palgrave. Annotation c.
