"Bottom Up" might be still considered as a possible model case for "take off" of the third world. Japan after the Meiji owes his economic success to this active participa- tion of massive subordinates, however, if this historical achievement of ours could not be adapted to, for example, Latin American world, evidently, it is because they have had their own peculiar life backgrounds characterized mainly by their patron-client relationship.

The leaders have been indifferent of national welfare and the people apathetic of even regional development. In the midst of recently accelerated globalization the difference between developed and underdeveloped countries appears more and more distinct.

The following is a case study on this subject in Colombia.
