About this book

"The seventh edition of this widely-used introductory text on poverty in the developing world continues the discussion of the 'new American hegemony' and the 'war on terror' that began with the previous edition. In particular, Isbister addresses changes in international politics and the impact on the global order of the US-led military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. The author also focuses on major initiatives, such as the UN's Millennium Development Goals, to confront the issue of world poverty"--Jacket.
