Elite capture has potential to benefit a few people in society. Some failure of ecological and developmental projects is attributed to elite capture by individuals or groups of people exerting influence on a particular society based on their higher social status. On the other hand, individuals and groups of people ("elites") who capture decision making processes may play a key role in constructively and successfully leading public projects. In these two contrasting scenarios, what do you think of elite capture in respect to public project success or failure? If elite capture has a significant bearing on the public projects, how do you propose it can be resolved? Share your views, comments and experiences.
