"We Live In A World Where Economic Positions-Income And Wealth Are Unevenly Distributed, And This Leads To The Widespread Persistence Of Poverty". "I See A Violation Of Human Rights Not In The Mere Fact That People Doesn't Have Enough To Eat And That They Are Vulnerable But I See It In The Fact That The Economic Institutional Order Of The World Is Associated With This Very Persistent Poverty And That Different Institutional Arrangements At The Supranational Level Could Stop And Even Reverse The Slide Towards Ever Greater Income Disparities”.

Thomas Pogge.

"This Book Is An Investigation Into The Ethics And Politics Of Global Poverty. The Main Focus Will Be On The Multidimensional Concept Of Poverty In Relation To, Global Politics And Justice In The Context Of Contemporary Political Thought. One Of The Major Concern Of This Book Is How Poverty Is Impacted By Politics. It Is Argued That The Institutional Political Action For Poverty Alleviation Is Greatly Facilitated By Democratic Political Process. Political Parties And Civil Society At The State And Local Level Can Play A Crucial Role Especially If The Politics Of Poverty Is Embedded In Welfare Oriented Policies Of Democratic State With Clear Cut Tilt Towards Social Justice. Poverty Eradication Policies Can Only Succeed If Reformed Global Institutions Coordinate Their Efforts With Political Actors And Institutions At The State Level, Enhancing Pro-Poor Institutions And Enabling Environment For Poverty Eradication And Social Justice. Global Institutional Governance Is Not Likely To Achieve Much Success In Poverty Eradication Unless The Role Of The State Institutions Is Not Fully Cooperated".
