Five case studies explore elite perceptions of poverty in Brazil, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Haiti, and South Africa. Perceptions interrogated concern the causes of poverty, the nature of poverty as a societal problem, responsibility for poverty and its amelioration, and similar issues. The motivation for the studies is, in part, based on the idea that a pre-condition for state action in confronting poverty is the development of a social consciousness among national elites. Distributed in the US by Palgrave Macmillan. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Drawing on case studies from a range of developing countries, the contributors to this volume discover major differences in how national elites understand and represent poverty. The classic threats that induced elites in late 19th century Europe, such as the fear of crime, epidemics, military weakness or political unrest--do not feature prominently in the consciousness of most developing country elites. Nor do most of them believe that there is a viable solution to poverty through public action. The findings help to explain the relative ineffectiveness of poverty reduction strategies so far, and illustrate the need to present poverty in ways that tie in with how national elites understand their world.

Recenzijas

'Shows that while there are major differences in how national elites understand and represent poverty, the threats that induced elites in late-nineteenth century Europe to be concerned with reducing poverty do not feature prominently in the consciousness of most developing-country elites. Nor do most of them believe that there is a viable solution to poverty through public action.' International Social Security Review
