Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In a world where boundaries and borders are blurred and seemingly distant threats can metastasize quickly, the battle against global poverty has become a fight of necessity--not simply because morality demands it, but because global security does as well. Just as poverty begets insecurity, the reverse is also true. Too Poor for Peace? explores this damaging pattern of mutual reinforcement in its many different facets, bringing the latest lessons and intellectual framework to bear in the search for vehicles to improve both economic conditions and physical security.

A really informative book. It is quite user friendly for those beginning to read or learn about development studies or practices, however, it does have some extra technical information those of us with a prior understanding of these issues. Poverty/Conflict Nexus...very interesting. Buy it!!
