A noteworthy publication and a timely need ... This book is rich in data and comprehensive analysis, and should be of interest to academics, policy-makers, researchers, students and anyone interested in social policies and economic transformation in Asia. While providing deep analyses of the subject areas, the book also provides a good basis for those who are new to the subject, giving them the required background information on the role of social policy in enhancing well-being and social inclusion, and in shaping the conditions for market forces and economic growth in this modernizing and globalizing world.This is an excellent publication which should be read by all interested in the subject. -- South Asia Economic Journal Haan's book qualifies as a thoughtful addition to development research because it provides us with a rights based frame to assess the social policy space, provides some answers but more importantly, makes us engage with the issues and ask more questions. -- The Book Review 'Towards A New Poverty Agenda in Asia' focuses on the need for developing a newer approach towards poverty reduction through transformations in social and economic policies. -- Businessworld
