Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the era of globalization, there was a rapid decline in global poverty due to economic growth in some of the poorest countries in the South. At the same time this era witnessed increased inequalities, within, as well as amongst, countries, which had an adverse effect on the reduction of global poverty. This Special Issue revisits the issue of growth and global poverty reduction by examining the experience of specific countries, or county groups, with respect to growth, income distribution and poverty reduction since the 1980s.
In particular, the Guest Editors welcome contributions on (i) the impact of developing countries access to markets of industrialized countries on poverty reduction, and (ii) the likely effects of the resurgence of protectionist policies in the advanced countries on eliminating global poverty, as mandated by the Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015.
