Democracy
in the World Today
A
recent UNDP Human Development Report describes the world today
as more economically, politically and technologically free
than ever before, but also more unjust. This contrast between
increasing freedom and opportunity on the one hand, and increasingly
entrenched poverty and inequality on the other remains a serious
challenge to all those concerned about healthy democratic
development. The following books and articles address these
issues.
