Globalization, Poverty and Inequality: What Is the Relationship? What Can Be Done?
Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: June, 29 , 2005The paper studies the relation between globalization, inequality and marginalization,
within and across nations. It reviews the existing evidence on globalization and global
inequality and argues, using a simple theoretical model, that the two are
inter-connected. It discusses policy alternative policies to counter extreme poverty and
inequality. The paper takes the view that curbing these, even within one country,
requires global, cross-country policies that we do not currently have, and advocates the
setting up of an international initiative to coordinate such policies. [Research Paper No. 2005/32]
