DESCRIPTION
The international community has committed itself to an ambitious programme of social development for the opening decades of the twenty-first century. Attacking poverty directly--as a matter of human rights to accelerate development and a reduce inequality within and among the countries--has become an urgent global priority. World leaders have agreed on a variety of new initiatives, including the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals. This book encompasses a wide range of content and approaches in its admit and as such it is expected to be of much interest to a vast spectrum of scholars.
