The consequences of globalization for the world's poor are uncertain and fierce rhetoric is dividing its supporters and detractors. The channels of effect of essentially macroeconomic shocks on the microeconomic position of individuals and households in poor countries are many and various. This book addresses three core issues: 1 what are the main channels of effect? 2 what are the lessons to be learned from policy measures to alleviate negative poverty consequences? and 3 do the proposed analytical approaches assist in providing a monitoring capability?.
