This book investigates the current level and trend of poverty in
the Muslim World, including selected countries in Africa, the
Middle East and Central Asia, East Asia, the Pacific and South
America. Authors explore themes of poverty reduction, poverty
alleviation and the extent of influences on social and economic
development, particularly natural resource endowments (especially
mineral resources) and their utilization. Chapters explore theory
and practice, including governance and programmes, and take a
detailed look at Zakat as a faith-based policy tool, to reduce
poverty and improve livelihoods and thus contribute to better
environmental stewardship. The final chapters look at development
questions in the Muslim World and make policy recommendations,
including a proposed multi-dimensional development collaboration
model called the Development Collaboration Octagon Model (DeCOM).
Readers will discover theoretical explanations of poverty and how
poverty hampers the development of many nations because the poor
are unable to partake actively in the development process. Poverty
indicators and measurement are discussed, and trends of economic
growth including productivity, manufacturing, trade patterns,
investment and saving activity, and socio-economic developments are
all explored: supporting data is presented in tables and figures,
throughout this text. Authors explore the potency and success
stories of public poverty alleviation strategies and programmes
pursued in the Muslim world, especially the extent to which the
institution of Zakat has been effectively incorporated into public
poverty alleviation strategies. Policy options required to enhance
social and economic development are proposed, to help pull the poor
out of the poverty trap into the mainstream economy in the Muslim
world. This work will appeal to anyone wishing to scrutinise
poverty, its parameters and its relationship with the development
of countries in the Muslim world. Scholars in the fields of
economics, sociology, geography and Islamic studies will all find
something of value here.
