Internationally, globalization and increased economic integration
has impacted quality of life and individual well-being. Attempts to
evaluate the impact on income dispersion from this process have
been extremely controversial. This key volume is the first real
attempt to build up indices and a theoretical framework in order to
deal with inequality of opportunity, and to enable social and
political institutions to monitor increasing disparities in
well-being and social exclusion. It thoroughly examines the
possible relationships between the recent acceleration in economic
integration and inequality among persons and countries and will
enable social and political institutions to monitor increasing
disparities in well-being and social exclusion. The contributions
to this volume cover various subfields of economics, and examine
both the negative and positive spillover effects of economic
integration on individuals, social groups and nations. Since the
impact of globalization on the most deprived people is
multidimensional in nature, the theoretical framework is extended
to a multivariate context where several individual characteristics
are simultaneously considered. This original volume covers many
important topics and features an impressive array of respected
contributors. As such, it is sure to be an invaluable resource for
postgraduates and professionals in the fields of political economy
and economics.
