Eliminating world poverty: making governance work forthe poor (20)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Christopher's analysis is correct if you accept that democracy is only about voting in a mechanical way, but I don't know anyone who takes that definition seriously. Instead, democracy should be understood as a condition in which there are good opportunities for all for deep participation in decision-making that affects public life.
Aloha, George
