To varying extents in developed countries a minority of the population suffers from deprivation. Britainrsquo;s Labour government in particular has sought to deal with this through the notion of social exclusion; and similar ideas have been developed in other countries. This important text explores the various forms of this contemporary economic and social disadvantage and; in particular; investigates its social and spatial causes and the role of space in policies addressing disadvantage. Arranged in three distinct parts; it:introduces contemporary and historical conceptualizations of social exclusion and povertyanalyzes social exclusionrsquo;s origins by examining the different spheres of disadvantage and their relationsdiscusses strategies for overcoming social exclusion; and analyzes policy ideas from across the political spectrum.This book is the first to systematically analyze the role of geography in poverty and social exclusion; and deals with the roles of lsquo;globalizationrsquo; and localism. Though its main focus is Britain; it investigates similarities and differences in other developed countries. Spaces of Social Exclusion is a key text for researchers and students throughout the social sciences; social policy; human geography and urban studies; as well as policy makers and practitioners in social and urban policy.
