In order to design, enact, and protect poverty alleviation policies
in developing countries, we must first understand the psychology of
how the poor react to their plight, and not just the psychology of
the privileged called upon for sacrifice. This book integrates
social and psycho-dynamic psychology, economics, policy design, and
policy-process theory to explore ways to follow through on
successful poverty-alleviation initiatives, while averting
destructive conflict. Using eight case studies across Latin
America, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, William Ascher examines
successes and failures in helping the poor through affirmative
action, cash transfers, social-spending targeting, subsidies, and
regional development. In doing so, he demonstrates how social
identities, attributions of deservingness, and perceptions of the
policy process shape both the willingness to support pro-poor
policies and the conflict that emerges over distributional issues.
