Nor do most of them believe that there is a viable solution to poverty through public actionthe findings in this book throw light on one reason for the relative ineffectiveness of poverty reduction strategies hitherto, and the huge importance of presenting the problem of poverty in ways that fit more closely with the ways in which national elites understand their worldremarkably, in the rapidly growing literature on poverty, this volume is the first to use survey techniques to explore third world elites' attitudes to povertyoxfam bookshop hove the researchers who have written this volume are clear not only that mass poverty is still the leading humanitarian crisis in developing countries, but that, if effective policies are to be put in place, the national elites who control governments and economies need to be convinced of both the reasons why reducing poverty is in their own and the national interest, and that public action can make a differencewhile the authors found major differences in how national elites understand and represent poverty, the classic threats that induced elites in late 19th century europe to be concerned with reducing poverty - the fear of crime, epidemics, military weakness or political unrest - do not feature prominently in the consciousness of most third world elitesfive cases - intended to be broadly representative of the diversity of situations in developing countries - were chosen: brazil, south africa, the philippines, bangladesh and haitisee oxfam website for delivery information read more

Oxfam bookshop victoria this book explores the connections between infrastructure reform and poverty alleviation in latin america based on a detailed analysis of the effects of a decade of reformsthe book demonstrates that because the access to, and affordability of, basic services is still a major problem, infrastructure investment will be a core component of poverty alleviation programs in the regionthe book is divided into five chapters: (1) "introduction"; (2) "macroeconomic and microeconomic linkages between infrastructure reforms and poverty"; (3) "promoting access"; (4) "ensuring consumption affordability"; and (5) "establishing priorities" (contains additional tables, figures, and 77 references) (bt) less see oxfam website for delivery information read moreit shows that although affordability of service tariffs is often an issue, in many instances, access is a much more important concern in meeting the infrastructure needs of the poor; thus, infrastructure provision is a key poverty-reduction toolspecial emphasis is placed on data collection and explanations of some of the quantitative methodologies that can serve as inputs to the studies needed to ensure that the poor are accounted for under any form of infrastructure provisionthe book's main goal is to provide practical guidelines and methods to help policy makers, reformers, and regulators develop diagnostics to assess infrastructure needs and to ensure that strategies to address them are as cost effective as possible
