Global Poverty: Global governance and poor people in the Post-2015 Era

by David Hulme

Around 1.4 billion people presently live in extreme poverty, and yet despite this vast scale, the issue of global poverty had a relatively low international profile until the end of the 20th century. In this important new work, Hulme charts the rise of global poverty as a priority global issue, and its subsequent marginalisation as old themes edged it aside (trade policy and peace-making in regions of geo-political importance) and new issues were added (terrorism, global climate change and access to natural resources).

[Jared Donis · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best and most comprehensive introduction to the global effort to end poverty. Exceptional depth and simplicity presented with easy to read, easy to follow style. I’ll definitely revisit this book for future use in academics. This should be a favorite text book for all development studies aspirants. Underrated… till you read it.
