In this work, Amrita Narlikar argues that, contrary to common
assumption, modern-day politics displays a surprising paradox:
poverty - and the powerlessness with which it is associated - has
emerged as a political tool and a formidable weapon in
international negotiation. The success of poverty narratives,
however, means that their use has not been limited to the neediest.
Focusing on behaviours and outcomes in a particularly polarising
area of bargaining - international trade - and illustrating wider
applications of the argument, Narlikar shows how these narratives
have been effectively used. Yet, she also sheds light on how
indiscriminate overuse and misuse increasingly run the risk of
adverse consequences for the system at large, and devastating
repercussions for the weakest members of society. Narlikar advances
a theory of agency and empowerment by focusing on the life-cycles
of narratives, and concludes by offering policy-relevant insights
on how to construct winning and sustainable narratives.
