The one saving grace for the less developed parts of the world, which are also less democratic, is that they may be a little more autocratic in how they manage the movements of their population. In turn, their inhabitants are more likely to take heed of what they are being told to do. The 'touchy-feely' approach in Europe hasn't worked well but it takes a very strong leader to remove the freedom of those that elected him/her to power,
before any crisis has materialised.
