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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresenting a new theoretical approach to understanding the changing paradigm of development and political participation, \u003ci\u003eDemocratic Governance and Social Entrepreneurship\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to students and scholars of development politics, political economy and governance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise M.
