Summary This article examines some of the main trends in the evolution of development thinking over the last 25 years or so, from three main perspectives: the nature of the political economies that constitute the object of development thought since 1950, and their international context; the nature of the economic thought prevailing when development became a fundamental issue in the early 1950s; and the ways in which development thinking has evolved in reaction to actual development processes, problems and policies.Resume Le développement de la conception du développementCet article examine quelques‐unes des principales tendances dans l'évolution de la conception du développement au cours des quelque vingt‐cinq dernières années, à partir de trois points de vue: la nature des économies politiques qui constituant l'objet de la conception de développement depuis 1950, et leur contexte international; la nature de la pensée économique prédominante au moment où le développement devint une question fondamentale au début des années cinquante; et l'évolution de la conception du développement face aux réels processus, problèmes et politiques de développement.Resumen El Desarrollo del Pensamiento sobre el DesarrolloEste artículo examina algunos de las principales tendencias en la evolución del pensamiento sobre desarrollo en los últimos 25 años aproximadamente. Dicha evolución se enfoca desde tres perspectivas principales : la naturaleza de las economías y sociedades que constituían el "objeto" del pensamiento sobre desarrollo alrededor de 1950, y su contexto internacional; la naturaleza del pensamiento económico disponible cuando el problema del desarrollo económico se convirtió en el tópico central de la política económica a comienzos de la década de 1950; y la forma en la cual evolucionó y cambió el pensamiento sobre el desarrollo en respuesta a los problemas que enfrentó la política de desarrollo en las últimas décadas.

Despite the policy change the Asian Development Bank's rural sector projects have continued to focus on increasing production, with little impact on unemployment or poverty. This study examines the reasons - both political and organizational - for the gap between policy practice.

Myanmar faces enormous development challenges in the midst of a rapidly changing and uncertain landscape both in terms of politics and international aid. This article probes into the intertwined nature of political development and the politics of development, drawing upon existing literature and contributions of this special issue. It critically analyzes the mismatch between the long-term societal change processes that Myanmar faces, on the one hand, and the instability of domestic politics and international development, on the other. It is argued that the prospects for development in Myanmar need to be assessed in a context of constant interaction between political development and the politics of development.

The drafting and issuing of Development Briefs is the responsibility of the Planning Authority. Such briefs rigorously regularise land uses and related activities within the areas which they cover. This paper investigates the rationale behind the issuance of Development Briefs within the contemporary local planning system. By drawing parallels with the British planning framework, various options are investigated whereby compensation may be sought/demanded due to excessive planning gain requested as part of a Development Brief prepared by the Planning Authority from developers. By way of concluding the argument, reference is made to the provision contained in the Development Planning Act with respect to Governmental involvement in planning decisions. ; peer-reviewed

This book analyses the impact of the Western idea of 'modernity' on development and underdevelopment in Africa. It traces the genealogy of the Western idea of modernity from European Enlightenment concepts of the universal nature of human history and development, and shows how this idea was used to justify the Western exploitation and oppression of Africa. It argues that contemporary development, theory and practice is a continuation of the Enlightenment project and that Africa can only achieve real development by rejecting Western modernity and inventing its own forms of modernity.
