This book examines the various channels and transmission mechanisms, such as greater openness to trade and foreign investment, economic growth, effects on income distribution, technology transfer and labour migration through which the process of globalization affects different dimensions of poverty in the developing world
'contains chapters by development economists analysing critically and rigorously how different manifestations of globalisation tend to influence poverty in the developing world.' - Oxfam Development Resource Review 'This book has raised a number of important lessons on transmission mechanisms that, together with other pieces of current research, will surely lead to a more concrete meaning of complementary policies and to a more fruitful use of the pro-poor prospect of increased globalization.' - Guido Porto, Journal of Economic Literature
