This collection offers a timely reassessment of the viable ways of addressing poverty across the globe today. The realities of global poverty have changed dramatically over the past decade, and around three quarters of the poor now live in Middle Income Countries rather than in the overall poorest areas of the world. This rapid transformation requires us to re-think anti-poverty strategies and policies fundamentally, as many aspects of the established frameworks for poverty reduction are now no longer effective. This much needed intervention answers some of the key questions facing development policy, with contributions spanning three continents (Latin America, Africa and Asia), and which assess poverty and inequality on the global, national and local scale, as well as in both urban and rural contexts. Providing poverty researchers and practitioners with valuable new tools to address new forms of poverty in the right way, it shows how a radical switch from aid to redistribution-based social policies is needed to combat new forms of global poverty
