Abstract

SummaryThis paper is an introduction to nine papers on the impact of globalization on inequality and poverty in Latin America, arising out of a conference organized in Rio under the auspices of a large-scale UNU-WIDER research project. Focusing on different manifestations of globalization and channels through which globalization affects poverty and inequality, the case studies in the present volume cover the spectrum from broad macroeconomic regional and country analyses to more micro-oriented studies in different settings in Central and South America. The case studies illustrate that the impact of globalization on poverty and inequality is extremely context specific.
