Public ISBD Titre : From powerty to powerty Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Duncan Green, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxfam ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-85339-741-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Pauvreté  pouvoir  économie Index. décimale : 420 Langue anglaise Résumé : Seismic events have convulsed global markets since 2008, when this book was first published, and world news has been full of stories reflecting a profound sense of uncertainty about global futures. In response, this new edition of From Poverty to Power has been fully revised and now includes a new chapter with an in-depth analysis of the human impact of the global financial and food crises. From Poverty to Power argues that a radical redistribution of power, opportunities, and assets rather than traditional models of charitable or government aid is required to break the cycle of poverty and inequality. The forces driving this transformation are active citizens and effective states. Why active citizens? Because people living in poverty must have a voice in deciding their own destiny and holding the state and the private sector to account. Why effective states? Because history shows that no country has prospered without a state structure than can actively manage the development process. There is now an added urgency: climate change. We need to build a secure, fair, and sustainable world within the limits set by scarce resources and ecological realities From powerty to powerty [texte imprimé] / Duncan Green, Auteur . - Oxford : Oxfam, [s.d.].

From poverty to power / Duncan Green

Public ISBD Titre : From poverty to power : how active citizens and effective states can change the world Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Duncan Green, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxfam Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 1 vol. (XVI-522 p.) Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-85598-593-6 Note générale : Bibliogr. p. 472-496 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Participation politique  Résistance politique  Égalité  Pauvreté  "PAUVRETE" Index. décimale : 339.4 Causes et effets de la pauvreté Résumé : The twenty-first century will be defined by the fight against the scourges of poverty, inequality, and the threat of environmental collapse as the fight against slavery or for universal suffrage defined earlier eras. From Poverty to Power argues that it requires a radical redistribution of power, opportunities, and assets to break the cycle of poverty and inequality and to give poor people power over their own destinies The forces driving this transformation are active citizens and effective states. Why active citizenship? Because people living in poverty must have a voice in deciding their own destiny, fighting for rights and justice in their own society, and holding states and the private sector to account. Why effective states? Because history shows that no country has prospered without a state structure than can actively manage the development process. There is now an added urgency beyond the moral case for tackling poverty and inequality: we need to build a secure, fair, and sustainable world before climate change makes it impossible. This book argues that leaders, organisations, and individuals need to act together, while there is still time.
