Marginality, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2014 Addressing the Nexus of Poverty, Exclusion and Ecology

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : von Braun Joachim, Gatzweiler Franz W.

Couverture de l’ouvrage Marginality
This book takes a new approach on understanding causes of extreme poverty and promising actions to address it. Its focus is on marginality being a root cause of poverty and deprivation. ?Marginality? is the position of people on the edge, preventing their access to resources, freedom of choices, and the development of capabilities. The book is research based with original empirical analyses at local, national, and local scales; book contributors are leaders in their fields and have backgrounds in different disciplines. An important message of the book is that economic and ecological approaches and institutional innovations need to be integrated to overcome marginality. The book will be a valuable source for development scholars and students, actors that design public policies, and for social innovators in the private sector and non-governmental organizations.?
