Development and Resilience: Re-thinking Poverty and Intervention in Biocultural Landscapes
Persistent poverty is often conceptualised as a poverty trap, a concept which does not yet incorporate interdependencies between human well-being, nature and culture. As such, interventions to alleviate poverty are often ineffective and may even exacerbate poverty, especially in areas rich in biological and biocultural diversity. In her thesis for the
University of Stockholm, Jamila Haider draws upon several approaches; proposes conceptualisations of poverty traps that incorporate social and ecological interdependencies; and offers a new lens through which to examine the implications of development interventions.
