There still are very large numbers of poor people, relative poverty is an increasingly concerning problem, and progress on poverty reduction varies enormously from one part of the world to another. Factors contributing to poverty reduction include economic growth, economic integration, and specific poverty-reduction programs, which are often initiated by Western countries. This book considers poverty reduction from a global perspective. \u003cem\u003eDevelopment and Poverty Reduction\u003c\/em\u003e looks at a wide range of specific subjects, across all continents. It highlights in particular how the issues are perceived from a non-Western perspective and especially how the rise of China is both having a profound impact on poverty reduction globally and also changing the overall way in which development and poverty reductionare approached.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART I: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground discussions.\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Introduction: poverty reduction in comparative perspective, Yongnian Zheng and Jiwei Qian. \u003cb\u003e2 The state and development: the two political economy models of China and the West, \u003c\/b\u003eYongnian Zheng. \u003cb\u003ePart II: America. 3 Poverty in the US and its causes, \u003c\/b\u003eDouglas J.
