Accelerating the rate of economic growth in developing countries has been the important aim of almost all development policies implemented over the past three decades. Experience has shown that such growth is often not sustainable and is likely to be interrupted due to the occurrence of violent political changes. The paper attempts to identify the organizational factors which limit economic growth and which create conditions conducive to the outbreak of political violence. A mathematical model of the socio-political system of the developing country is developed and its behavior is studied using simulation.
