Globalization and Poverty: Winners and losers

Bruno Amoroso

Top

Abstract

Bruno Amoroso illustrates results of his ongoing research on globalization and poverty. He shows how, not withstanding dis-agreements on the causes and geographical shifts, poverty is increasing globally as even welfare states are experiencing new forms of social exclusion and marginalization. He examines the overall trends through a theoretical lens looking at internationalization and globalization.
