Rethinking "Development": The Challenge of Global Democracy

"Development" promised that everyone could be rich, without anyone 
ever having to get poorer. The rich could keep getting richer while 
the poor, if only in some indefinite future, "caught up". This 
promise assumed that neither the ecosystem nor the social system 
imposed any hard limits on the business of enrichment - an assumption 
that has proven false. Thus, the challenge of global democracy: 
rethinking "development" when some must become poorer if all are to 
achieve comparable prosperity, and where total production must 
decline if any are to survive.

Papers are invited which present ways to conceptualize, measure, 
promote, organize and fight for globally democratic "development".


Paper proposals must include author's name, e-mail and mailing 
address, institutional affiliation (where applicable), voice and fax 
phone numbers. A title and abstract of not more than 100 words must 
be included with all proposals, but longer proposals and full papers 
are welcome.

Proposals should be sent ASAP to the session coordinator, Chris Borst, at:
