The need for third world industrial democracy
Article Abstract:
Businesses and trade unions in developing countries that are moving towards democracy should practice 'industrial democracy,' in which employees have a voice in company decision-making. The development of democracy in developing nations often leads to corruption and violence because the leaders of the group paternalistically rule over the people, without wanting to grant them a voice. If a citizen assumes a position of power they ofter repeat the paternalistic mode of ruling used by the predecessor. Industrial democracy offers a means of instilling democratic ideals at many levels of a society.
