Abstract
“Conflict resolution and micro enterprise development are both fledgling fields. This paper attempts to show the relevance of viewing micro enterprise development within an overarching analytical framework of structural conflict. Johan Galtung provides the foundation, and Hernando De Soto, Muhammad Yunus and Mary Clark add supporting beams to this analytical construct. The modernization, dependency, and world system theories of development are dismissed as inadequate frameworks for analyzing micro enterprise development.”
