Summary:

Recently both national and international actors have become concerned with growing global inequality, the absence of shrinkage in the numbers of very poor people in the world, and a perceived global backlash against international economic institutions. This new concern with poverty reduction and the political participation of excluded groups has set the stage for a new politics of inclusion within nations and in the international arena. This volume explores what forms the new politics of inclusion can take in low- and middle-income countries, adopting a polity-centered approach that focuses on the political capacities of societal and state actors to negotiate large-scale collective solutions, and highlights a variety of possible strategies to lift large numbers of people out of poverty and political subordination.
