Poverty and Exclusion in a Global World is an excellent analysis of the variable conditions of social exlusions in the contemporary world. The analysis and data that the book provides, coupled with a will to policy formation that seeks to avoid the traps it outlines, is long overdue...The book should be a useful addition to the 'losers' section on any reading lists on 'the consequences of globalisation'.' - Stewart Clegg, University of Technology, Sydney
