Alternative Institutional Arrangements for Human Development

The anger that comes from watching and feeling failure in development, in addition to the anger that comes from the West's reluctance or refusal to recognize thought and religious conviction needs to challenge us towards major institutional reform for a wider and drastic democratization of the world's architecture. Stephen Chan warns there are tremendous new hopes and fears and the old cannot understand them or miscegenate easily with them. In fact, the old keeps trying to express the new in its old terms. He argues that no new international institutions can be built without first interrogating certain contradictions and then accomplishing a work of preconditions.
