Description: Poor people everywhere are politically weak, and yet poverty in some developing countries has gone down dramatically. Why is this? Using nine country case-studies this book provides answers by examining government alliances, the role of aid donors and NGOs, and policies on labour, tax and expenditure.
Notes: "With assistance from Blessing Chiripanhura, Jean Grugel, and Ben Thirkell-White."
