Publisher's Synopsis
"The Human Development Report 2002" discusses the dilemma of deepening democracy in a fragmented world. It examines the processes through which power holders can be made more accountable for their decisions, and how the marginalized can participate more effectively in the decisions that affect their lives. The report for 2002 explores how these principles can be advanced at the national and global levels and promotes an agenda of governance reforms for social justice. It should prove an important tool in the formulation of government policy.
