Abstract
This chapter explores the issue of poverty and how conventional ways of managing development have not only failed to extricate the poor from their predicament, but have generally excluded them from development altogether. It also analyzes both the conditions of economic insecurity and the nature of the global economic regime that manages and nurtures such conditions. To approach these tasks in a systematic way, we will concentrate upon the relationships among poverty, livelihoods, and globalization.
