Abstract
Part of the book “International development: ideas, experience and prospects," this analysis concludes by considering whether a synthesis is emerging from structuralist and liberal understandings of poverty, or is merely an uneasy compromise, while each “side” looks for a way to regain a dominant position. The chapter examines contestations over how poverty analysis is positioned in development theory; charts the conceptual contestations around poverty; presents a brief history of poverty in development thought and action; and looks at the contrasting geographies of contemporary poverty.
