Welcome to the new Political Economy of Pro-Poor Growth website
The Political Economy of Pro-Poor Growth programme was established at the University of Sheffield in September 2005. It is financed by the ESRC as part of its World Ecoinanced by the ESRC as part of its World Economy and Finance programme, and seeks to understand the political reasons why measures to combat economic crisis impact in different ways on the welfare of low income groups. Building on this research, we explore the different patterns of state intervention visible in developing countries since the "East-Asian" crisis of the late 1990s, and make recommendations for policy and institutional reforms in the interests of poor people.
The research activities of this programme are being disseminated by means of occasional papers to be posted on this website. In addition there will be a workshop in the ICOSS, University of Sheffield on Wednesday 11th March. See esrc-wef-dissemination-workshop-11_03_09-new-version-26023 for further details.
