Abstract:
The anti-poverty impact of national social assistance programmes in eight Central and Eastern European countries is examined using data from the European Union-Survey of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC). Results indicate that social assistance programmes achieve only limited poverty reduction, while spending a significant amount of their resources on the non-poor. The more extensive and generous programmes achieve higher effectiveness in reducing poverty. Efficiency on the other hand appears to be linked only to programme size and not to benefit levels. Unlike Western Europe, no trade-off between effectiveness and efficiency could be detected.

Abstract:
The much-heralded anti-poverty strategy of asset-building has been adopted by many countries across the world. Asset-building programmes are designed to help low-income families achieve long-term financial stability through savings and asset accumulation. This article offers a comprehensive and critical review of the current state of theory and research on asset-building programmes, with an emphasis on Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) in the United States. Studies of IDAs have involved quantitative evaluations of the programme, focusing on three key topics: the programme’s effects on clients’ savings behaviour, its effects on clients’ outlook on life, and its long-term impact. On the basis of a careful review of these findings, it is argued that the claim that IDA programmes and asset-building in general have the potential to reduce poverty is overrated and premature. The article builds on theoretical insights regarding the nature of neoliberalism to make sense of the picture portrayed in the research literature.

Abstract:
The subject matter of this thesis is the analysis of implementation of three of the programmes of the National Solidarity Programme-PRONASOL. A study of the implementation of PRONASOL is essential because the relationship between policy success or failure and policy implementation has been poorly studied for the Mexican context This thesis aims to provide a detailed analysis of the process of implementation of three of the programmes of the PRONASOL in the state of Campeche, Mexico, which will be used to test relevant theoretical assumptions about policy implementation. In terms of policy implementation the dissertation explores empirically the link between individual behaviour and the political, economic and legal context in which the action takes place by considering contextual variables. The thesis uses the case study method to test the adequacy of theory of policy implementation to explain the cases under analysis. This method was useful first, because it allowed to emphasise contextual conditions which may have significant influence on the phenomenon under study. Second, because the research aimed to describe cases in which the conclusions of national studies based on aggregated data were not helpful. A contrasting strategy was used to extent the explanatory potential of the case study method which was achieved through the selection of programmes and also through the selection of municipalities and localities in which the study was carried out The dissertation contributes to the understanding of the link between concrete and immediate day-to-day decisions by particular actors with the longterm structural features of Mexican society and so, to shed light on the historical trends, institutional processes, and political decisions that are interwoven in the implementation of public policies.

Abstract:
Este trabalho discute como os Municípios podem reforçar o seu contributo para a luta contra a pobreza num contexto mundial de reestruturação global. Em primeiro lugar, começa por introduzir a relevância da ‘transição paradigmática’ nas ciências sociais no âmbito da luta contra a pobreza e apresenta o contributo do realismo ‘crítico’ como possível quadro de referência epistemológico para a coerência e legitimidade científica do trabalho a desenvolver. Seguidamente, o trabalho propõe um modo de conceptualizar a luta contra a pobreza. Conceitos como ‘pobreza’, ‘necessidaddes básicas’, ‘agência e estrutura’, ‘localidade’ e ‘integração económica’ são discutidos e o seu conteúdo definido com rigor. Em terceiro lugar, o desenvolvimento teórico do trabalho oferece uma perspectiva de diferentes contributos na explicação do processo de ‘reestruturação global’, desenvolvimento local e planeamento territorial. A mudança contemporânea é explicada como transição para um regime de ‘acumulação flexível’, é desenvolvida uma teoria de ‘subdesenvolvimento local’ orientada para a acção e é apresentada uma teoria de planeamento como ‘empowering dialogue’ oferecendo em conjunto um quadro de referência coerente onde situar a acção Municipal na luta contra a pobreza. Finalmente, com base na ‘síntese realista’ diversos programas ‘experimentais’ de iniciativa Europeia e respectivos exercícios de avaliação são ‘revisitados’ e ‘lições’ são retiradas. Estes programas oferecem muitos exemplos de possíveis formas de concretização da acção. A relevância dos seus resultados é assegurada pelo quadro epistemológico, conceptual e teórico deste trabalho. É possível discutir a dependência conceptual e contextual das ‘ideias potencialmente migrantes’ e que podem ser consideradas como resultando das aprendizagens proporcionadas pelos programas. Também é foi possível discutir a sua contribuição para a legitimidade de mensagens-chave e implicações de política e propor algumas perspectivas para futuros desenvolvimentos do trabalho agora apresentado.
This work discusses how Municipalities can improve their contribution to anti-poverty action in a context of global restructuring. First, it starts by introducing the relevance of the ‘paradigmatic transition’ in the social sciences to anti-poverty action and presents the contribution of ‘critical’ realism as a possible framework for ensuring coherence to the work to be developed. Second, the work proposes a way of conceptualising anti-poverty action. Concepts such as ‘poverty’, ‘basic-needs’, ‘agency and structure’, ‘locality’ and ‘economic integration’ are discussed and defined with precision. Third, the theoretical development of the work offers an overview of contributions aiming to explain ‘global restructuring’, local development and territorial planning and discusses their relevance to anti-poverty action. Contemporary change is explained as a transition to ‘flexible accumulation’, an action-oriented theory of ‘local underdevelopment’ is developed and territorial planning as an ‘empowering dialogue’ is presented offering a coherent framework where to situate Municipal anti-poverty action. Finally, on the basis of ‘realist synthesis’ several European experimental programmes and their evaluation exercises are ‘revisited’ and ‘lessons’ are learned. These programmes offer many examples of action possibilities and enable the identification of policy implications. The relevance of their outcomes is given by the epistemological, conceptual and theoretical framework of this work. It was possible to discuss the ‘concept-dependent’ and ‘contextdependent’ relevance of the potential ‘migrating ideas’ learned from experimental action. It was also possible to discuss their contribution to the legitimacy of key-messages and policy implications and propose some different perspectives for future developments of the work presented now.

Abstract:
Between 45-57% of South Africans are estimated to be engulfed by poverty. In an attempt to identify policy instruments that could help change this status quo, the various strategies that have been implemented in countries (e.g. China, Vietnam and Uganda) that are known to have been relatively successful in reducing poverty are reviewed. In the process, this dissertation discusses the literature regarding poverty, with a particular emphasis on the definition, measurement and determinants thereof. Furthermore, South Africa's anti-poverty strategies are discussed. It turns out that these have met limited success. This is largely due to insufficient pro-poor economic growth, weak implementation/administration at the municipal level, slow asset redistribution, high income/wealth inequality, low job generation rate by SMME's, high HIV/AIDS infection rate, public corruption and inadequate monitoring of poverty. Therefore, if meaningful progress towards poverty reduction is to be achieved, the government needs to deal with the foregoing constraints accordingly.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how anti-poverty transfer programmes can drive global extreme poverty to zero. Current trends indicate that global poverty is a crucial issue not only in poor countries but also in low- and middle-income countries. Indeed, the majority of people in extreme poverty today live in middle-income countries and are likely to concentrate in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to reduce extreme poverty worldwide to zero, there is a need to pay special attention to policies facilitating the social and economic inclusion of groups in extreme poverty. The chapter first considers the interrelationships between antipoverty transfers, inclusion of disadvantaged groups, and human development before discussing the outcomes of existing antipoverty transfer programmes. It also highlights the main policy lessons and concludes with an analysis of the role of international aid in anti-poverty transfer programmes.

Abstract:
This chapter explores how pre-regeneration estates became devalued places, largely connected to neoliberalisation and austerity policies and effects. Five devaluation strands are analysed: overcrowding, landlord neglect, population transience, crime and disorder, and stigmatisation. Overcrowded families living in small flats were unable to transfer to larger properties because social housing has contracted, trapping them in dwellings that no longer felt like home – un-homing. Although properties and estates were physically solid, they had been neglected due to inadequate investment, repairs and maintenance services. Landlord transfers (from the Greater London Council to the borough councils), plus managerialist restructuring (outsourcing and cutting back caretakers), also contributed to tenants’ complaints about living in a worsening environment. London estates have become more transient places due to the Right-to-Buy because of increased private landlordism, tenants and Airbnb guests. Crime, fear of crime and anti-social behaviour were important issues at some estates, but less so at others. Estates have become symbolically devalued via mass media territorial stigmatisation which has been exacerbated by austerity-related ‘poverty porn’ TV programmes. Despite such devaluations, residents generally positively valued their homes and estates (Chapter 6), and there was no mass desire to leave unlike in the case of US public housing projects (Wacquant).

Abstract:
While poverty has been a phenomenon encountered practically in all societies in the past, it still continues to exist as a significant social phenomenon in our day. In this study, poverty concepts, significance of education in fighting with poverty, opportunities offered by the latest innovations in education technologies for education and the contributions that can be provided by these innovations to education programs aimed to fight with poverty have been explained. How the Eurasian countries may use education technologies in the anti-poverty programs that they could collectively implement and the opportunities that could be offered by collective action have been discussed.
