1. Introduction -- 2. Risk and poverty -- 3. The risk coping strategies of the rural poor -- 4. The limits to risk coping -- 5. Risk and inequality -- 6. Risk and development -- 7. Conclusion.
This book investigates the relationships between rural poverty, risk, and development. Building upon the author's work in the area, it summarises the contributions of recent theoretical and empirical work to our understanding of how risk affects rural poverty levels in developing countries. In particular the book examines what we do and do not know about risk coping strategies among today's poor rural societies. Ways in which these strategies may be re-examined and improved by governments and international organisations are proposed.
