Short Abstract:

In an uncertain world, recurrent crises hit the poor the most. How do these uncertainties affect marginalised communities? How do they respond – individually and collectively - to these crises? What are the implications of these uncertainties on poverty dynamics at global, national and local levels?

Description:

In a highly polarised world, recurrent crises hit the poor the most. How do these multiple crises affect marginalised communities? How do they respond – individually and collectively - to these crises? What impact do these uncertainties have on poverty dynamics at global, national and local levels?

Increased living costs, growing risk of conflict and climate-related disasters, deepening social polarisation all create new challenges for policymakers and communities alike. The former formulate policies to address these crises and create new opportunities for positive change. The latter seek not only to adapt and survive such challenges; but also use them to show resilience and create new spaces for collective action.

This panel invites proposals that address one or more of the following themes:

• Alternative theorisations of poverty dynamics that are relevant at times of crises and uncertainty. For example, how can the conceptualisation of poverty evolve to address issues of resilience, adaptation and wellbeing in uncertain times.

• Empirical analyses examining the relationship between poverty, uncertainty and resilience. They can range from national analyses of poverty dynamics to local explorations of marginalised communities and the transformative strategies used to create new opportunities at times of crises.

• Studies of policy and anti-poverty strategies that meaningfully engage with the growing ‘polycrisis’ and address the structural factors that lead to its recurrence. For example, can social protection programmes help protect the poor from such recurrent crises? Can effective policy analyses lead to more sustainable poverty reduction – even at such uncertain times?
