"Prepared by a group of experts within the CROP network, this book was a state-of-the-art report on poverty and poverty research in different regions in 1996. As such, it was unique and the first volume ever to cover poverty studies worldwide, and to present the rich variety of concepts, hypotheses and data used in different disciplines in different cultural settings. The book contains a great number of ideas and reflections on poverty manifestations, poverty research and poverty strategies, of great value for researchers and policy-makers alike. As such, it is a baseline for ongoing and future research, and a major contribution to setting up the agenda for poverty research in the new millennium." (https://www.crop.org/Publications)
