Résumé

This text seeks to establish the relationship between freedom of information and economic, social and human development, by showing that democratic demands regarding information are very much like the necessity of local economic development. Modern economic information theory represents an analysis tool for these links and the limitations imposed on freedom of expression by technological and economic constraints and the information strategies of participants. Thus, on the theoretical front we can set up some propositions along the lines of participative democracy and freedom of information in the local development perspective. The theories in motion also enable us to contribute to the current debate on “methodological individualism” versus “holism”, two approaches that are often opposed in the social sciences.
