Description
The world is in a state of turmoil. For over a billion people, everyday life is marked by conflict and instability. But what can be done to create lasting change? Paul Collier presents a vision for the future of the developing world that is both provocative and refreshingly straightforward. Collier's ideas are based on his extensive research into democracy and its potential in challenging circumstances. He argues that solutions exist, but they require effort and commitment from governments, international organizations, and individuals alike. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges facing the developing world and the possibilities for creating more stable and democratic societies.
