Explanation
★The correct sequence is equality, capacity and differentiation, so the order is 2, 1, 3.
★Equality comes first, stressing equal and widespread participation in politics.
★Active citizenship and popular rule are central to this stage.
★Capacity follows, the ability of the system to act on society and the economy.
★Differentiation comes last, the specialisation of governmental structures and roles.
★This trio is associated with the development syndrome of Lucian Pye.
★So equality, capacity and differentiation give the right order.
