This book explores the connection between strong democracy and
neoliberal development schemes based on the concept of 'social
entrepreneurship' in Thailand and Southern India. With an original
approach, this book addresses the intersection between emerging
approaches to development; namely microfinance, microenterprise,
and social entrepreneurship, and the ability of societies to
generate their own public goods without state assistance. Utilizing
observation, fieldwork, and practice in Northern Thailand and
Southern India, as well as secondary sources from the southern Asia
region more generally, the author examines the challenges of
democratic governance and generation of public goods where civil
society and democracy, as development strategies, have become less
meaningful to citizens across the developing world than
micro-development. The author argues that these approaches to
development have impacts on development and civil society building,
but do not necessarily amount to political empowerment, raising
important questions for civic participation in the state when the
state is no longer viewed as the locus of public goods and
democratic governance. Presenting a new theoretical approach to
understanding the changing paradigm of development and political
participation, Democratic Governance and Social Entrepreneurship
will be of interest to students and scholars of development
politics, political economy and governance.
