The real crisis lies in a group of about 50 failing states, the bottom billion, whose problems defy traditional approaches to alleviating poverty. Here, Collier contends that these fifty failed states pose the central challenge of the developing world in the twenty-first century. This group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world's people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards. A struggle rages within each of these nation between reformers and corrupt leaders--and the corrupt are winning. Collier analyzes the causes of failure, and offers a bold new plan.--From publisher description.PoorDeveloping countriesPovertyDeveloping countriesPoorPoverty338.9009172/4Collier Paul120456MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784636003321The bottom billion3826784UNINA01194nam0 22003011i 450 UON0023478020231205103519.35904-15-92811-720030730d2001 |0itac50 baengUS|||| 1||||Sticks and stonesthe troublesome success of children's literature from Slovenly Peter to Harry PotterJack ZipesNew York and LondonRoutledge2001xiv, 213 p.24 cm.LETTERATURA PER RAGAZZIUONC038314FILETTERATURA PER RAGAZZI IN AMERICANO STORIA E CRITICAUONC052205FIUSNew YorkUONL000050GBLondonUONL003044809.89282Letteratura per bambini21ZIPESJackUONV142211192521RoutledgeUONV248939650ITSOL20240220RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00234780SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI Angl VI C 1111 SI LO 68640 5 1111 BuonoSticks and stones17401UNIOR
