This paper traces the evolution of grassroots political activity in Latin America, with special reference to Chile and Brazil, and assesses its impact on social development. The author argues that the ultimate influence of grassroots political activity is piecemeal; but that international agencies should nevertheless seek to identify and nurture those grassroots organizations that can take on the distinct tasks of criticism and advocacy, and so promote possible alternative futures for social development.
