Another major change is that the unit of development has become multi-scalar. This in turn affects the agency of development. If early on this was the state, now it includes international and regional institutions and regimes, urban and local government, civic associations (operating as multiple scales) and households. Development actors have become polycentric. Grassroots count more than previously (for instance Dalits in India who have become politically active). It follows that development is no longer simply a mathematics of power and reshuffling the status quo.
