“…Therefore the set objectives and tools used shall be in harmony with current and future trends and the changing environment (Hall & Jenkins, 1995). At the same time the development of tourism can never be optimal unless it is based on a certain consensus and cooperation among the individual stakeholders involved in tourism (Goulet, 1989). The fact is that the private sector tends to be short-sighted and tends to focus on short-term assets and goals.…”

“…Rather, these organisations define themselves as promoters (Lewis, 1989), catalysts (Goulet, 1989), or facilitators (Drabek, 1987) of grassroots mobilisation and organisation.

This paper examines the long-term grassroots empowerment strategies endorsed by non-governmental development organisations (NGDOs) in Lima, Peru and their application in concrete development programmes. An examination of NGDO literature and projects permits the synthesis of three ideal-typical empowerment strategies (Neo-Marxist, Neo-Anarchist, Coalition-Building). These strategies are described and compared, especially with respect to their diverging conceptions on processes of "bottom-up' development, the characterisation of grassroots mobilisation and the role of the state and political parties. These differences, however, tend to be compromised once actual advocacy work with the grassroots is contemplated, when development projects have to deal with the micro-mobilisation patterns of the poor and the political conjuncture. Several interpretations of the contradiction between idealtypical strategies and actual advocacy tactics are discussed, concluding that such contradictions are inherent to any political process based on grassroots empowerment and a "bottom-up' agenda.In the ast fifteen years, strategies of grassroots empowerment have been gaining ground among development aid theories. Shunning previous interpretations that'emphasised market mechanisms or state intervention as key determinants of socio-economic development, empowerment strategists consider that grassroots participation and m0bilisation is the basis for a just and equal development process. Empowerment entails expanding the grassroots' capacity to participate in the design of social policy and, as a result, in enhancing their control over their life destinies.

This good governance agenda was supported by the World Bank, which advocated decentralisation and participation as requisite for the success of both urban and rural development projects (World Bank 2000).…”
