Looking back, it is apparent that the late fifties of this century were vintage years in a time of faith in modernization - developing "them" (in the Third World) to look like "us" (in the First World) - as the basic paradigm for development. The success of the Marshall Plan in the re development of Europe inspired the conclusion by the West that what was needed to "develop" Africa, Asia and Latin America was foreign aid, technical expertise and revamped administrative systems in Third World countries, which had to see to the diffusion of technical know-how as well as to the assimilation of this external input by these countries.
