Tony Addison - Book author - Poverty dynamics: Interdisciplinary perspectives
Channel: ODI
Date: 24/04/2013

Poverty dynamics concepts and methods are becoming increasingly important in understanding poverty. This collection of interdisciplinary essays from anthropologists, economists, sociologists and political scientists includes cutting-edge research on poverty dynamics and provides a much needed multidimensional perspective to conceptualising poverty. 

Authors Tony Addison, David Hulme and Ravi Kanbur review poverty dynamics research in developing countries; provide discussions on current analyses of poverty assessment; and focus on a poverty framework that is based on social relations and structural analysis.

Tony Addison and David Hulme will present highlights of their book at this CPRC and ODI book launch. The book is published by Oxford University Press and will be available in paperback at a 20% discount during the launch.
