Rezensionen

'contains chapters by development economists analysing critically and rigorously how different manifestations of globalisation tend to influence poverty in the developing world.' - Oxfam Development Resource Review

'This book has raised a number of important lessons on transmission mechanisms that, together with other pieces of current research, will surely lead to a more concrete meaning of complementary policies and to a more fruitful use of the pro-poor prospect of increased globalization.' - Guido Porto, Journal of Economic Literature
