This is because it is their welfare in the political, economic, social and cultural wellbeing which is at stake. This requires development from below rather than the statist notion of development from above.

A conceptualisation of the developmental states is attempted, theoretical issues are articulated, the challenges of the developmental state grappled with, and missed opportunities reflected in the several development projects that are analysed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
