Die konsep ontwikkeling: Opvattíngs en teorieë

Abstract

The aim of this essay is to given brief discussion of the changing interpretations of the concept development. In the years following the Second World War an indiscriminate and uniform attitude concerning development - that can best be summed up in the words: food for one must be food for all — existed. During the Sixties, the era of positivism and high capitalism, two schools of thought branched out. The Social Sciences Research Council emphasised po­ litical development The Comparative Administration Group, on the other hand, emphasised the output function of development, “the implementation of development programmes, or the transformation of dreams into concrete development practice".
