520			_a "Understanding Global Poverty" introduces students to the study and analysis of poverty, helping them to understand why it is pervasive across human societies, and how it can be reduced through proven policy solutions. The book foregrounds the human aspects of poverty, keeping the voices, experiences and needs of the world's poor in the center of the analysis. Starting with definitions and measurement, the book goes on to explores causes of poverty and policy responses, aiming to give a realistic account of what poverty reduction programs actually look like. Finally, the book draws together the ethics of why we should work to reduce poverty and what actions readers themselves can take to reduce poverty. This book is an accessible and engaging introduction to the key issues surrounding poverty, with key questions, case studies, discussion questions and further reading suggestions to support learning. -- From publisher's description.
