Description
Summary:Grows out of attempts by academicians and activists to contribute to transformative politics by developing a way of acquiring better contextual sources and analyzing the processes and problems of democratization in a theoretically more inclusive way than in the mainstream assessments that have come to parallel the industry of measuring economic growth.
