Spicker, Paul, 'Conclusion: Poverty and social science', The Poverty of Nations: A Relational Perspective (Bristol , 2020; online edn, Policy Press Scholarship Online, 17 Sept. 2020), https://doi.org/10.1332/policypress/9781447343325.003.0015, accessed 27 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
The conclusion reviews the implications of the book’s argument for social science. The data which are currently being used in poverty studies have already shifted to provide insights into ‘poverty and social exclusion’; responses to poverty are increasingly informed by ideas of voice and empowerment and a focus on exclusionary processes. The theory that underpins social science about poverty, with its relentless focus on material deprivation, has not yet caught up with what social scientists are actually doing.
