Abstract
Description
Draft copy of a paper for Third World Legal Studies.
Development constitutes the process by which society attempts to overcome the mass poverty and powerlessness. Increasingly today, world-wide, people demand increased democracy and participation in that process. Without democratic participation, regardless of their stated ideology, governments everywhere apparently respond, not to the poor and powerless, but primarily to those with power and privilege.
