dc.description.abstract
Poverty eradication has become a global political priority. The United Nations
have made it clear that poverty is the most important issue to be resolved if
sustainable development is to be reached. The first and most prominent of the
recently proclaimed Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) thus boldly reads „End
poverty in all its forms everywhere“. Poverty has been a constant feature of
humanity. It has been the source of fierce political debates and repression,
of internal and external instability, of upheavals and violent conflicts. It
is obvious that poverty, within a nation, a region or on an international
level not only prevents millions of people from decent livelihoods, equality,
justice, rights and general human flourishing. It is the single-most
debilitating obstacle that inhibits other political goals from being reached.
But what is poverty exactly? Who counts as poor? And who does not? Should we
actively do something against poverty? And if so, what? This course proposes
answers to these questions. Poverty is a social construct that can only be
understood in the light of specific social, historical, cultural, economic and
political contexts. It is a multidimensional phenomenon that cannot be
analyzed through the lens of a single scientific discipline alone.
