Böcker av Jurgen Friedrichs

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the gradual widening of scientific and policy debates on poverty from a narrow focus on income poverty to a more inclusive concept of social exclusion, has made poverty research both more interesting and more complicated. This book deals with this transition to a more multidimensional conceptualization of poverty.
