After two decades of marketizing, an array of national and
international actors have become concerned with growing global
inequality, the failure to reduce the numbers of very poor people
in the world, and a perceived global backlash against international
economic institutions. This new concern with poverty reduction and
the political participation of excluded groups has set the stage
for a new politics of inclusion within nations and in the
international arena. The essays in this volume explore what forms
the new politics of inclusion can take in low- and middle-income
countries. The contributors favor a polity-centered approach that
focuses on the political capacities of social and state actors to
negotiate large-scale collective solutions and that highlights
various possible strategies to lift large numbers of people out of
poverty and political subordination.
The contributors suggest there is little basis for the radical
polycentrism that colors so much contemporary development thought.
They focus on how the political capabilities of different societal
and state actors develop over time and how their development is
influenced by state action and a variety of institutional and other
factors. The final chapter draws insightful conclusions about the
political limitations and opportunities presented by current
international discourse on poverty.
