There still are very large numbers of poor people, relative poverty is an increasingly concerning problem, and progress on poverty reduction varies enormously from one part of the world to another. Factors contributing to poverty reduction include economic growth, economic integration, and specific poverty-reduction programs, which are often initiated by Western countries. This book considers poverty reduction from a global perspective. Development and Poverty Reduction looks at a wide range of specific subjects, across all continents. It highlights in particular how the issues are perceived from a non-Western perspective and especially how the rise of China is both having a profound impact on poverty reduction globally and also changing the overall way in which development and poverty reduction are approached.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish  aArea studies  adevelopment  apoverty reduction  athema EDItEUR::G Reference, Information and Interdisciplinary subjects::GT Interdisciplinary studies::GTP Development studies  athema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JP Politics and government1 aQian, Jiwei4edt1 aQian, Jiwei4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/3062370zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92929d92929
