Globalisation is intensification of consciousness of the world as a whole and preceded the advent of capitalist modernity. Inspite of the claims that globalisation accelerates growth and reduced poverty, poverty reduction remains the central challenge to the global society and culture. Hence globalisation, poverty and culture are interconnected and influence each other. This book therefore provides a wholist picture of the subject and therefore profoundly essential to understand the subject in proper perspectives.
