Yet, social theory, largely developed and tested in the Global North, is often inadequate in tackling the realities of life in the dangerous parts of cities in the Global South. Drawing on the findings of an ambitious five-year, 15-project research programme,\u00a0<em>Social Theories of Urban Violence in the Global South\u00a0<\/em>offers a uniquely Southern perspective on the violence\u2013poverty\u2013inequalities dynamics in cities of the Global South.<\/p>\n<p>Through their research, urban violence experts based in low-and middle-income countries demonstrate how \u201curban violence\u201d means different things to different people in different places. While some researchers adopt or adapt existing theoretical and conceptual frameworks, others develop and test new theories, each interpreting and operationalizing the concept of urban violence in the particular context in which they work. In particular, the book highlights the links between urban violence, poverty, and inequalities based on income, class, gender, and other social cleavages.<\/p>\n<p>Providing important new perspectives from the Global South, this book will be of interest to policymakers, academics, and students with an interest in violence and exclusion in the cities of developing countries.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.idrc.ca\/en\/book\/social-theories-urban-violence-global-south-towards-safe-and-inclusive-cities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Descargar libro<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While cities often act as the engines of economic growth for developing countries, they are also frequently the site of growing violence, poverty, and inequality.
