      ab: In contemporary development and political studies the Capability Approach as proposed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum has become an alternative analytical framework used to conceptualise the promotion of well-being ('capabilities') in society. Notably, an important component of this framework is agency, which underscores the various 'transformation mechanisms' towards realising well-being in societies. This study straddles the area of political theory and development studies and seeks to contribute to the literature on the Capability Approach from a fresh perspective of the contest for agency between the different political stakeholders in society's development arena. The study interrogates the agency roles of different stakeholders in society's development focusing on the liberal-communitarian and the state-insociety debates on the politics of state from the perspective of the Capability Approach.
