Globalisation and Poverty - Channels and Policy Responses

Zusatztext "I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone interested in the effects of trade liberalization on poverty.  Indeed, the reader gains not only a better understanding of the subtle mechanisms that underlie the trade/poverty nexus, but also walks away with an improved knowledge of the various methodological tools that are available to exlore this nexus." - Kamal Saggi, Globalizations, March 2008, Vol. 5 Informationen zum Autor Bussolo, Maurizio; Round, Jeffery I Zusammenfassung This book provides a systematic analysis of the impact of globalization on poverty.
