The 1990s have witnessed the ascendance of a new orthodoxy which asserts that democracy and development are mutually reinforcing. However, many new democracies are illiberal, non-participatory, and characterized by enormous inequalities. This important new study, by a team of leading scholars, examines the extent to which it is possible to strive towards a new form of developmental state that can promote broad-based and equitable development in the context oflegitimized, inclusive democracy.
