The first of the UN Millennium Goals was to reduce extreme poverty
and in 2014 it was halved compared to 1990, and now the goal is to
eradicate poverty and hunger by 2030. The reduction in poverty is,
to a high degree, the consequence of the rapid economic development
in a few countries, especially China, but in many countries around
the globe poverty is still at a high level and is influencing
societies' overall development. It is against this background that
this Handbook provides an up-to-date analysis and overview of the
topic from a large variety of theoretical and methodological
angles. Organised into four parts, the Handbook provides knowledge
on what poverty is, how it has developed, and what type of policies
might be able to succeed in reducing poverty. Part I investigates
conceptual issues and relates concepts to people's relative
position in society and the understanding of justice. Part II shows
how poverty has developed. It combines existing empirical knowledge
with regional/national understandings of the issue of poverty. Part
III analyses policies and interventions with the aim of reducing or
alleviating poverty within a national as well as global context. It
includes a variety of countries and examples. Finally, Part IV
tells us what can be done about poverty; what instruments are
available to end poverty as we know it today. This volume will be
an invaluable reference book for students and scholars throughout
the social sciences, particularly in sociology, social policy,
public policy, development studies, international relations and
politics.
