Abstract: What is the relationship between globalization and poverty? Developing economic entities have long used international trade and finance as development solutions,but 35% of the globalpopulation is still living below the international poverty line.Reviewing these documents,we believe that in order to understand the relationship between globalization and poverty,we must have a deep understanding of the political motivations behind the policies targeting the poorest.Specifically,we advocate that scholars need to clarify the ideological position of the governments of the developing countries,which goes beyond the traditional views of the left and right wings of the mainstream in developed countries.Economists and political scientists have explored the relationship,but have yet to reach a conclusion.We provide theoretical guidance for scholars on how to start promoting ideology on a global scale and why it is necessary to assess the link between globalization and poverty.In addition,we have provided preliminary quantitative and qualitative tests for our arguments.Finally,in order to assess the relationship between trade and poverty,academics in both disciplines must begin to assess the government's commitment of redistribution in poverty relief (rather than being constrained by the policies of the vested elite interests).

Key words: ideology, starting condition, politics, developing economic entities, poverty, inequality, trade
