Coralie Bryant and Christina Kappaz cogently argue that poverty reduction not only is possible, but also can build opportunities for peace. Integrating theoretical concepts with discussions of policies, programs, projects, and the ways that these might be designed and implemented to alleviate poverty, their work is an important contribution to ongoing policy debates.
Coralie Bryant is scholar in residence at American University's School of International Service. Christina Kappaz is an associate at Cimarron Capital Partners.
