Title: The Impact of Globalization on the World's Poor: Transmission Mechanisms.
Description: Houndsmills : Palgrave Macmillan, 2007. Hardcover. 336 pp.(Studies in Development Economics and Policy). - While the economic opportunities offered by globalization can be large, a question is often raised as to whether the actual distribution of gains is fair, in particular, whether the poor benefit less than proportionately from globalization and could under some circumstances be hurt by it. This book examines the various channels and transmission mechanisms, such as greater openness to trade and foreign investment, economic growth, effects on income distribution, technology transfer and labour migration through which the process of globalization affects different dimensions of poverty in the developing world.
