Chapter Chapter 7 in Getting Development Right, 2013, pp 137-149 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The developing world faces many challenges. These include the need to carry out substantial structural transformation, generate growth that is environmentally sustainable, and foster development that is economically inclusive. To balance the trade-offs inevitably generated by the simultaneous pursuit of these goals, many stakeholders have emphasized the importance of expanding the role of popular voice in the policy-making process. Augmenting the scope of political inclusion is considered pivotal especially with regard to advancing the goal of economic inclusion. By giving the (poor) majority greater political voice, it is argued, greater economic equity can be achieved.
