Over the past decade there has been a worrying increase in poverty in the industrialised countries of the "North", while many of the developing countries of the "South" have experienced some improvement. This collection argues that there are a number of likenesses between the predicaments of North and South, and that these warrant further investigation and analysis. Poverty and Social Exclusion in North and South covers , on an integrated basis, such themes as: economic growth and social capital food and poverty debt versus equity in urban regeneration This important book written by a respected group of scholars will be of interest to students and academics involved with social politics and development studies more generally.
