Living through crises: how the food, fuel, and financial shocks affect the poor

Living through Crises presents eight country case studies to illustrate how people in specific localities were affected by global shocks, which coping strategies they adopted, and which sources of support were available to them. The country studies relied on qualitative data collected from 2008-11, comprising one of the most comprehensive qualitative studies of crisis impacts and copingever conducted in developing countries. The book aims to assist development practitioners in understanding how large-scale economic crises affect people's lives and, what vulnerability and resilience mean in relation to the new pattern of globalized crises and the role of public policy in protecting against risk.
