Toward an Economic Sociology of Chronic Poverty: Enhancing the Rigor and Relevance of Social Theory
Published By: CPRC on eSS | Published Date: October, 25 , 2007This paper focuses on both expanding and refining the analytical scope of the “social” (or non-economic) aspects of chronic poverty, and thereby, to enhance efforts to respond more effectively to it. The argument in this paper proceeds as follows. In recognizing that poverty is “multi-dimensional”, today’s dominant policy discourses have actually made important, if often under-appreciated, steps to incorporate insights from social and political theory, but that these (hard-won) gains now need to be consolidated, advanced and sharpened. [CPRC Working Paper 104].
