This second edition of this highly-successful glossary provides an
exhaustive and authoritative guide to over 200 technical terms used in
contemporary scholarly research on poverty. It seeks to make
researchers, students and policy makers aware of the multi-dimensional
and complex nature of this social condition. This revised edition
includes a range of new entries to keep pace with an expanding field of
discourse, an extended set of references, and further perspectives from
developing countries. A particular effort has been made to incorporate
non-Western approaches and concepts.
