Explanation of Poverty and Power Assignment
Explanation, Poverty, Power, Assignment
In this paper you will be responding to the ideas of two of the three books and authors
on which we have focused in class: Chang’s 23 Things, Collier’s Bottom Billion, and
Green’s from Poverty to Power. Your paper needs to do the following three things:
Explain the approach to change that each author would take in response to the issue
you chose.
Compare the two approaches: What are their main similarities and differences?
Identify which of the two approaches to change do you prefer for this issue and explain
why.
In carrying out these tasks you should:
Give a brief overview of each author’s approach to change (see note at the beginning of
this document). Make sure you support the overview by citing material written by or
about each author. As much as possible try to use your own words rather than lengthy
quotes to sum up each author’s approach. This overview should not take up more than
1½ pages (350 words) of your paper.
Identify at least two important points of comparison between the two authors’
approaches to change. At least one of these should be a difference. Make sure you
support the points in your comparison by citing material written by or about each author.
Clearly state which of the two approaches you prefer. (Hints: You can say one author’s
approach is more likely to be effective, or you can argue that both have crucial flaws, or
some other answer in between these two extremes. Remember that you are talking
about their approach vis-à-vis a specific issue; this isn’t a general response to the two
authors’ ideas.)
Give at least two reasons, with supporting evidence from your research sources for your
answer. Remember this is the most important part of your paper; it should take up at
least 2 pages (500 words).
Paper Format
Your paper should be formatted as an essay, meaning written in paragraph form without
bulleted lists. Use transition sentences rather than headings to signal which of the three
tasks you are writing about.
Your paper should not be much more than 1500 words (roughly 6 pages), and not less
than 1000 words (roughly 4 pages). Your references list does not count toward this
total. Use a legible font (i.e. 11 or 12 point) and double-space your paper.
There will be a separate Research Paper drop box for this assignment. Please submit it
in either a Word compatible format (.doc or .docx) or in PDF.
Research Expectations
In addition to reading and referencing the two authors’ books, you should read and
make reference to at least two recent scholarly sources (i.e. substantial, research-based
articles from scholarly journals or chapters from scholarly books that have been
published since 2005). Appropriate research beyond this minimum will receive a higher
grade.
Documentation of Research Sources
Your paper must include appropriate in-text references for any information taken from
any article, book, case study or internet sources you used in your research. This
includes both direct quotes and points where you have taken either facts or significant
ideas from the source, even though you express them in your own words.
Your references should be formatted according to the Chicago author-date system or
the APA system. In both formats it is important that you, as a student, include the page
number(s) when providing the location of the information you used. You can find a quick
help with these formats at Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab
(https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/purdue_owl.html ) and copies of the reference manuals for
each in the library’s reference section as well as in the Tutoring Centre.
If you are including information that is not common knowledge in your paper, it is best
to have a reference for it. You should have a reference for each piece of information like
this, not just put one reference at the end of a paragraph or page. It is much better to
have too many references than too few.
Your paper should end with a references list (APA format or Chicago name-date format)
of all the research material you used to write the paper. Be sure to include a full
reference for the two authors’ books here, plus any non-scholarly and internet sources
you consulted in the process of writing your paper.
Marking Guide
The template that follows is a rough guide to the weight I will give to different parts of
the research paper. Some elements—such as failure to properly document sources or
inadequate/inappropriate research—may result in lower grades in other areas as well.
Clear, research-based answer to the first question (shows knowledge of the two authors
plus issue of focus)—about 20% of the grade
Clear, research-based answer to the second question (shows knowledge of the two
authors plus ability to make critical comparisons)—about 20% of the grade
Clear, research-based answer to the first question (shows knowledge of the two authors
and issue of focus plus ability to make evidence-based evaluations)—about 30% of the
grade
Base of research for the paper and proper, consistent documentation of sources in text
and in references list using either APA or Chicago format—about 20% of the grade
Clear organization of paper and quality of writing (grammar, punctuation, spelling,
etc.)—about 10% of the grade
Getting Help
You can get help identifying appropriate research sources (or determining whether a
source you have found is scholarly) from a librarian at the reference desk on the
library’s main floor. If you are not sure what counts as a scholarly source, please review
the points in the Beginner’s Guide on the Library website
(http://libguides.uwinnipeg.ca/c.php?g=1647&p=657544).
Remember that finding something via a scholarly database search increases the
chances that the item is a scholarly source, but you should still check to make sure that
it meets most of the criteria listed under Scholarly vs. Popular Sources.

paper}
Research Plan/Outline and Research Paper Instructions
Plan due Tuesday, 18 February 2020.The plan is worth 2% of your final grade.
Paper due on or before Sunday, 29 March 2020.The paper is worth 10% of your final
grade.
Research Plan/Outline Instructions
Your research plan will provide a roadmap for the paper. To draft your research
plan/outline you should review book chapters we have already covered in the course for
the two authors, plus look at the readings for assignments 7, 8 & 9. You will also need
to identify scholarly research sources for the different parts of your paper.
Your research plan should contain the following:
An outline of the main ideas you need to include in your paper and research sources for
them:
A summary of each author’s approach to change. (Hints: You can use information from
Assignments 8 & 9 for this part of the plan/outline. This summary should not include
quotes form the two authors. Make sure that your overview of the two approaches to
change does not take up more than 60% of your plan/outline.)
For each author, identify at least one additional source (i.e., other than the book used in
class) that will help you understand what each author thinks about issue you have
chosen.
Briefly (i.e., 1-2 sentences for each source) explain how these sources will help you
understand these authors’ positions. Provide a properly formatted reference for each of
these items using either the APA or Chicago Manual format. (Hint: Scholarly sources,
published interviews or TED Talks are preferred to general online sources.)
The main similarities and differences between the two approaches to change. (Hints:
Don’t name all the possible similarities and differences here; choose only the ones you
think are important enough to include in your paper.
You might compare goals of change or definitions of the issue, the scale at which the
author thinks change should start, the actors involved in the change or the methods
they should use.)
Duncan Green
In his first section of his book From Poverty to Power he focuses on inequality because
it is a big issue in his perspective, and it is the issue that he most worries about in the
book as well. His approach suggests that inequality hinders people from developing
their full capabilities. Inequality creates many problems. It wastes talent, undermines
society and its institutions, undermines social cohesion, limits the impact of growth of
economy.
Duncan Green is concerned about the inequality among the individuals.
According to Duncan Green, the problem of Inequality can be solved with effective
states and active citizens. Societies should have a social foundation and environmental
ceiling. The goal of development economics according to him must be to bring humanity
into the safe and just safe.
Paul Collier;
Economic Growth is the Core Idea. Inequality is not the center idea for Paul Collier. In
his perspective, Economic Growth helps everybody. When economic growth happens,
incomes will grow. But the economic growth has to be a certain type of Growth. As a
neo-classical economist, he thinks that people need an incentive to work harder to
achieve economic growth.
For instance, it wouldn’t be considered as growth if there is a group of powerful people
controlling the oil resources of a country are putting the profits in their own pockets. In
his book The Bottom Billion, Inequality couldn’t make it to the index. And it shows how
much Collier would focus on inequality.
Paul Collier focuses on inequality between countries. And he thinks that the income gap
among the countries is pulling them down. This gap can be fixed with Convergence.
Convergence focuses on lifting the bottom billion countries from poverty by developing
them at a faster rate than the developed countries.
As President of Tanzania, Rashid Kawawa stated “we must run while others walk.”
Similarly, the bottom billion countries have to grow exceptionally faster to come the
same level of development as those of developed countries. And that is how Collier
thinks gap is going to shrink.
His core idea change is of economic growth. For good change to happen, a country will
need good governance, good and appropriate policies, and natural resources to figure
out how the country is going to fit with the economic seam of the international setting
through Convergence.
Green, Duncan. (2016, Month Date). A historical view of the politics of inequality.
Unesdoc. https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000245888
This document is published by the UN and is written by Duncan Green. He explains four
historical cases studies of countries with inequality and asserts the fact that the decline
in inequalities can depend on various factors in these diverse cases.
For an instance, the interactions between policy and politics; between top-down
leadership and bottom-up action; between deliberate responses and others unrelated to
inequality in itself; and between measures aimed at both vertical and horizontal
inequalities.
Collier, P. (March,2008). Retrieved
from https://www.ted.com/talks/paul_collier_the_bottom_billion?language=en#t-545770
TED talk by Paul Collier with the title of The Bottom Billion is the additional source I
chose to help me understand the issue I have chosen to work upon. In this TED talk,
Paul Collier talks about giving hope to the bottom billion through the alliance of
compassion and enlightenment of self-interest. He later talks about Resource Curse
and blames bad governance for it.
The way that these two authors have approached a change is very different. For Paul
Collier, for change to happen, someone in the bottom billion has to step up to bring
change. For him, these people are the heroes and the reformers. Sometimes, when
ordinary people try to bring change, they are killed or imprisoned.
However, when someone in the position of power tries to bring a change, things change
for good. These reformers are also assisted by external experts which help assisting
good change. So, for Paul Collier, change starts from the top and eventually branches
out as administration thins out.
For Duncan Green, in contrast, Change is driven by a group of people from the bottom
of the chain where they organize themselves and make some demands to the
government authorities. As it is natural, their demands are not accepted, and the
process of struggle begins. The people keep pushing and the state keeps resisting their
demands.
People become more empowered citizens and the state becomes more effective and
fairer. And that is how good change happens (through active citizens and effective
states).
Identify at least two recent, scholarly research sources that contain information that will
help you evaluate which of the two authors you think provides a better approach to
change vis-à-vis the issue you chose. Briefly (i.e., 1-2 sentences for each source)
explain how these sources will help you evaluate the two agendas. Provide a properly
formatted reference for each source using either the APA or Chicago Manual format.
The first additional source is the document that helps to evaluate two: first, it zooms in
on the poorest billion based on a multidimensional approach and, second, it goes
beyond national aggregates to understand the bottom billion. Later, it introduces the
Multidimensional Poverty Index, which includes information on health, education, and
living standards, and is published in UNDP’s Human Development Report.

averages
The second research source that I choose is the book by Branco Milanovic, the Haves
and Haves Not. The book focuses on the both the Inequalities that the Paul Collier and
Duncan Green talk about. The inequality among the citizens and the inequality among
countries. I will pick up excerpts from this book to support their approach to change and
inequality.

The discussions can include comments on the topics of week or reflections on videos
which I will post to Canvas. You may also use current news information to connect with
the topics of the week. The comments you make should be interesting and informative.
Just briefly agreeing or disagreeing without any commentary is insufficient.
Online Discussion Guidelines
Complete as much of the assigned reading as you can before posting your primary
responses each week. In general, strive to post as early as possible each week to
better support robust online discussions. If you habitually wait until the last minute to
engage in discussions, you WILL lose points!
· 2 Post Minimum – A primary post and a thoughtful response to at least one of your
peers is required.
· Professionalism -Meaningless agreement is NOT acceptable. Be polite, but do help
your peers to see the position from another angle as needed. Ask for clarification when
your peers are not clear, and offer additional insights or clarity where you can.
· Quality NOT Quantity – Write concise yet thorough responses in all postings. The
discussions can include comments on the topics of week or reflections on videos which
I will post to Canvas.
You may also use current news information to connect with the topics of the week.
Reference the text or relevant (and reputable) outside articles to better support your
position, and cite in APA. A class discussion requires each contributor to build on what
has already been said and add something new to the discussion.
Simply repeating earlier comments or agreeing with the professor or another student is
not a contribution. You need to add new facts, new issues, or new perspectives to the
discussion. To get full credit in the discussions you are expected to post an original
comment and also respond to one comment for an approximate total of less than 250
words for each post/comment.
The comments you make should be interesting and informative. Just briefly agreeing or
disagreeing without any commentary is insufficient. Waiting until the last minute to post
a comment without engaging in the discussion will result in a lower score.
Peer’s post
Hi Everyone,
In this week's reading I learned that, when it comes to international trade, financial
professionals' opinions will differ from those of the general public. There are three
different types of head contrasts. To begin with, many people believe that exchanging
with people from one's own nation or ethnic group is more beneficial than exchanging
with misfits. According to market experts, all forms of trade are equally beneficial.
Second, many people believe that airfare are better for the economy than imports.
Financial experts agree that all forms of trading are beneficial to the economy.
All commerce is beneficial to the economy, according to financial analysts. Third, many
people believe that the intensity of a country's compensation rates, tariffs, and other
components governs its exchange equilibrium. Business experts believe that the
exchange balance is governed by a number of factors, including the ones listed above,
but also keeping in mind the distinctions between public saving and speculation.
The noneconomic viewpoints on exchange all appear to stem from a same source:
people's tendency to exaggerate ancestral grievances. For a lot of individuals, seeing
trading as a rivalry is as natural as rooting for their neighborhood team in
