Developing Democracy in Developing Countries

Bruno Frey

Chapter 17 in The Political Dimension of Economic Growth, 1998, pp 315-323 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For the purpose of this chapter, the analysis of the political dimension of economic growth and development, two major aspects of all the problems confronting a developing country have been singled out: (i) authoritarian politics and the concomitant oppression of the population; and (ii) the bureaucratization and excessive interference of the government in an economy with overcentralization. The first topic deals with democracy, the second with federalism, both often weak in developing countries.
