About the Book

This insightful book delves into the complex relationship between globalization and poverty reduction, emphasizing how globalization can either alleviate or exacerbate poverty. It traces the major global flows of trade, finance, aid, migration, and ideas, examining how each of these flows impacts economic development. The authors explore the historical trends that shape globalization and analyze the ways in which these forces can either contribute to or hinder the development of poorer nations.

The book offers practical policy recommendations aimed at making globalization a more effective tool for fostering shared growth and prosperity. By critically assessing what works and what doesn’t, it helps readers understand the real impact of globalization on global poverty and development. It is particularly valuable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the effects of globalization on today’s economy and in addressing international development challenges.
