• Sommario/riassunto: From Poverty to Power by Duncan Green explores the role of active citizenship and effective governance in addressing global poverty and inequality. The book examines political and economic challenges, emphasizing the need for empowered citizens and capable states to transform power dynamics that perpetuate poverty. It analyzes recent global events such as financial crises and the Arab Spring, providing insights into sustainable development, social justice, and environmental protection. Through case studies and academic analysis, Green advocates for systemic change to achieve equitable growth and improved global governance. The book is intended for policymakers, development practitioners, and those interested in social change.
