Green Duncan (Senior Strategic Adviser Oxfam) - From Poverty To Power How Active Citizens And Effective States Can Change The World - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: This new edition of From Poverty to Power has been fully revised and now includes a new chapter with an in - depth analysis of the human impact of the global financial and food crises. From Poverty to Power argues that a radical redistribution of power opportunities and assets rather than traditional models of charitable or government aid is required to break the cycle of poverty and inequality. The forces driving this transformation are active citizens and effective states. Why active citizens? Because people living in poverty must have a voice in deciding their own destiny and holding the state and the private sector to account. Why effective states? Because history shows that no country has prospered without a state structure that can actively manage the development process. There is now an added urgency: climate change. We need to build a secure fair and sustainable world within the limits set by scarce resources and ecological realities. Published in association with Oxfam GB.
