The rapid spread of large-scale and innovative social transfers in
the developing world has made a key contribution to the significant
reduction in global poverty over the last decade. Explaining how
flagship anti-poverty programmes emerged, this book provides the
first comprehensive account of the global growth of social
assistance transfers in developing countries. Armando Barrientos
begins by focusing on the ethical and conceptual foundations of
social assistance, and he discusses the justifications for
assisting those in poverty. He provides a primer on poverty
analysis, and introduces readers to the theory of optimal
transfers. He then shifts the focus to practice, and introduces a
classification of social assistance programmes to help readers
understand the diversity in approaches and design in developing
countries. The book concludes with an analysis of the financing and
politics of the emerging institutions and of their potential to
address global poverty.
