The Paradox of Poverty Research
Relevant and reliable knowledge based on research is indispensable if extreme poverty is to be combatted. It is a paradox that three of the most significant paradigms in poverty research fail to focus directly on extreme poverty.

In the first phase the observer was regarded as an inspector and largely scaled off from communication and access to data. In the second phase the observer was treated as an adviser and consuitant;…
