Overview
This volume looks at the three dimensions of social exclusion: economic, social and political. Exclusion is analyzed as a new approach to such issues as the "new" poverty, precariousness, long-term unemployment, social polarization and lack of citizenship. The book shows how relational and distributional aspects of poverty are interlinked.

Defining social exclusion as referring to new social problems resulting from deep societal and economic restructuring associated with the emerging global economy, development scholars Bhalla (U. of Cambridge) and Lampeyre (Catholic U. of Louvain, Belgium) investigate the notion as a new way to approach issues such as long-term unemployment, precariousness, social polarization, and disintegration. They find that the model goes beyond more conventional approaches by embracing the relational as well as distributional aspects of poverty. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
