Developing a ‘Vertical’ Dimension to Chronic Poverty Research: Some Lessons from Global Value Chain Analysis

Author

  • Stefano Ponte

Abstract

This paper aims at developing an explicit ‘vertical’ dimension to chronic poverty research that focuses on ‘adverse incorporation and social exclusion’ (AISE). an effort is made here to sensitise literatures that are almost exclusively concerned with ‘vertical’ elements of marginalisation (such as global value chain analysis) to the need for more systematic attention to the impact of chain functioning and/or restructuring on marginal groups and/or communities along the various stages of commodity trade. [WP No. 111].
