The extent and seriousness of poverty vary across Asian develop. countries, and so does the rate at which poverty has changed over time. Also, there are large differences in the extent to which social serv., esp. health and educ., reach the poor. Poverty, therefore, is the outcome not only of econ. phenomena but also of social and political processes and how these interact with each other. Mediating these interactions is a variety of institutions (IN) that are important to understanding poverty and devising policies. This report examines the effects of IN on poverty reduction and the pathways through which these effects operate. Chapters: analytical approaches to poverty reduction; the role of political, social and cultural IN; and reforming public IN for poverty reduction.

A Superb novel of the Vietnam war, a novel that compares favorably with those earlier 'dark humor' war novels such as CATCH-22 and M.A.S.H. The writing crackles with authenticity." - Writers Digest A funny and serviceable satire about the gross rationalizations that propel war and peace." - Kirkus Reviews I love the way Wilfred recycles the bodies. That's fabulous stuff with a direct line to Heller's Catch-22 and perfectly captures the insanity of the Vietnam War." - Richard Peabody, Editor of Gargoyle Magazine
