Praise for the previous edition:
"Global poverty
is. . .recommended for anyone seeking to gain quickly a better understanding of global poverty—or for any teacher looking for an excellent text on the subject. It is a direct, no-nonsense, multi-disciplinary examination of the nature of poverty, with its subtitular focus on the gross failures of global governance to address the problem." - Joel Campbell, International Affairs, Vol. 87, 6, November 2011"The book reads like a crime novel and, like any good crime writer, Hulme does not paint the protagonist(s) as ‘evil’ but with nuances that are never oversimplistic."
- Jaqui Goldin, ‘Book Reviews’, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities: A Multi-Disciplinary Journal for People-Centered Development, 13:1, 153-163 (2012)"[
Global Poverty] has certainly helped identify the entanglements and intricacies of a global poverty landscape through a careful dissection of its institutional intrigues." - Jaqui Goldin, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, Vol. 13, 1, February 2012
