The politics of economic inequality in developing countries
Nel, Philip.

The politics of economic inequality in developing countries[electronic resource] /Philip Nel. - Basingstoke [England] ;Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - viii, 206 p. :ill. - International political economy series.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 166-197) and index.

Introduction : developing countries and odious inequality -- Explaining odious inequality -- The evolution of economic inequality in the periphery, 1500-1999 -- Democratization to the rescue? -- The consequences of inequality -- Conclusions : local inequalities, global responsibilities -- Appendix A : sample countries and summary statistics on estimated household income inequality Gini index score -- Appendix B : the relationship between regime change and economic inequality in selected countries, 1960-1999 -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.

Compared to third world poverty (absolute deprivation), economic inequality (relative deprivation) in developing countries has received little attention. In this book, Philip Nel shows that economic inequality has great significance for the achievement of economic, political and human development in developing countries. He argues that a high level of inequality undermines a country's growth potential, retards the development of social capital and trust, encourages corruption and conflict,and jeopardizes the opportunities for consistent regime development. As inequality continues to worsen in most parts of the developing world,this book provides a timely study on its causes and consequences.
