Summary: To be inclusive is a core value of democratic governance, in terms of equal participation, equal treatment and equal rights before the law. The publication presents 10 case studies of development policies and programs from eight Asia-Pacific countries, which focus on inclusiveness issues faced by disadvantaged groups and indicate what types of strategies may be best suited for participatory interaction between these groups and governance institutions. The book also examines the application of principles of non-discrimination, participation, accountability and empowerment in governance arenas, and encourages the use of a human rights-based approach to development programing.--Publisher's description.
