Much of the problem lies in the undemocratic nature of the state itself. This leads to favouritism, nepotism, biased allocation of resources, distorted priorities, and sifting of local initiative and innovation. No one political framework is required to meet these conditions, instead the conditions can be developed and preserved under a wide variety of governance paradigms. It is also important to recognize that inclusion will not always lead to easy consensus, participation may highlight conflict, rather than resolve it.
