As civil society can neither be brought into existence by factors such as stringent legislation, economic development, political manoeuvring and violent civil disobedience, nor by chance, these orthodox procedures have proved to be nothing more than unproductive quick-fix solutions. This study examines how previous social engineering programmes failed because of the preoccupation with the symptoms of severe human factor decay (HFD). The necessary conditions for a successful evolution of a principle-centred civil society is the availability of a positive human factor, without which no group of people can achieve and sustain civil liberties, human rights or the rule of law. Provocative and challenging, this book illustrates how positive human factor is essential to not only developing but also industrialized countries."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aCivil society 606 $aSocial engineering 615 0$aCivil society. 615 0$aSocial engineering. 676 $a300 700 $aAdjibolosoo$b Senyo$0902687 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795592103321 996 $aDeveloping Civil Society$93690592 997 $aUNINA
