Overview

Technological progress in the 21st Century still remains monopolized by the developed countries, determining the direction and rhythm of growth in developing countries which must import their technological infrastructure. This colonialised model of industrialisation leads to a perpetual outflow of resources abroad and to structured social exclusion that places narrow limits on democracy and the distribution of overall wellbeing. Development and Democracy examines the conflicting relations between technological development and democracy as they unfold in a challenging environment.
