Analyses the political landscape in which poverty reduction takes place. Much of the discussion on poverty is located within a model of harmony, as if everybody were in favour of pro-poor policies. Takes as its starting point the statement from the UN Social Summit that 'At the Summit there was a global commitment to eradicate poverty' and discusses some of its political implications.

Analyzes the political landscape in which poverty reduction takes place, highlighting the controversial realities policymakers & bureaucrats face in designing & implementing poverty-reducing policies. Because many nonpoor actors have a stake in how resources in a society are distributed, a model of conflict is more realistic than a model of harmony in which everyone is in favor of pro-poor policies. Considered here are the political implications of the global commitment to eradicate poverty expressed at the 1995 UN World Summit for Social Development, held in Copenhagen, Denmark. 1 Photograph, 6 References.

Poverty in Africa has been rising for the last quarter-century, while it has been falling in the rest of the developing world. Africa's distinctive problem is that its economies have not been growing. This article attempts to synthesize a range of recent research to account for this failure of the growth process. I argue that the reasons lie not in African peculiarities but rather in geographic features that globally cause problems but that are disproportionately pronounced in Africa. These features interact to create three distinct challenges that are likely to require international interventions beyond the conventional reliance on aid.
