The Social and Political Potential of Cash Transfers (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Molyneux, Maxine

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Cash Transfers, for all their notable successes, have been criticised for their limited ability to move poor households to provide sustainable routes out of poverty. This book draws on original qualitative research by leading scholars and development policy experts from a range of disciplines to examine whether cash transfers can have transformative spillover effects on individuals, households and communities. With chapters on Psycho-Social Wellbeing, Social Accountability and Social Capital, this book casts new light on the ongoing debates over the significance of the Cash Transfer 'revolution'. It was originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Development Studies.
