Particularly, the so-called 'megacities' around the world are rapidly becoming the scene for deprivation and exclusion, especially in what has come to be called the 'global south'. In such large-scale yet concentrated social environments, a complex set of relationships links poverty and exclusion to urban politics, power relations and public policy. Violent actors look for power in strategies that seek access to urban politics and policy-making. The urban poor are confronted with the challenge of charting pathways in their 'encounters with violence'. Local politicians, administrators, grass roots leaders and NGO officials are faced with the puzzle of how to restore effective non-violent institutions, legitimate governance and citizen security. Featuring case studies from across the globe, Megacities examines recent world-wide trends in poverty and social exclusion, urban violence and politics, and links these to the challenges faced by policy-makers and practitioners."--Publisher description. 606 $aUrban poor$zDeveloping countries$vCongresses 606 $aUrban poor$zSouthern Hemisphere$vCongresses 606 $aMarginality, Social$zDeveloping countries$vCongresses 606 $aPolitical science & theory$2bicssc 606 $aUrban communities$2bicssc 615 0$aUrban poor 615 0$aUrban poor 615 0$aMarginality, Social 615 7$aPolitical science & theory 615 7$aUrban communities 676 $a305.569091724 702 $aKruijt$b Dirk 702 $aKoonings$b Kees 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818465703321 996 $aMegacities$92507979 997 $aUNINA
