Abstract: Global policy for development emerges out of a process that reaches from the grass roots to global organizations. From a Third World perspective, several typologies of local, national, and international development organizations are presented, along with case studies examining problems encountered in their relationships. From a First World perspective, local development education and advocacy organizations are examined, along with links between these organizations and national organizations, international organizations, and grass-roots organizations in the Third World. Given the strong participatory assertions from the grass roots, is it possible that development (i.e. full development of human potential) can only be achieved by a highly decentralized global policy process? What kinds of state and global institutions, if any, would this imply?
