In recent years, governments, international institutions, and a broad array of social movements have converged around what an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report has described as an emerging ‘global anti-poverty consensus’. This new global social policy agenda has changed the terms of the debate between the left and the right, and redefined the world of policy possibilities, in global but also in domestic politics. This article proposes a constructivist interpretation of this multi-scale shift in discourse, and discusses the political and policy implications of the new global politics of poverty.
