The viewpoint of a soc & cultural anthrop'st is presented in an overview on this discipline's approach to development. 3 terms & 2 spheres of scholarly activity are noted as important: the terms of 'growth,' 'performance,' & 'development;' & the spheres of macro-analysis of soc processes & empirical field studies. Some development propositions of general currency are considered, eg, that development implies change involving new objectives, ideas, methods, forms of relationship, that nat'lism is detrimental to some development, that the structure of developed countries may affect the position of developing countries, etc. In this context, the contributions of anthrop to the role of educ'al policy, sci'fic & technological policies, COMM, & cultural policy are reviewed. It can be most useful in the analysis of the most appropriate, or optimal, development strategy & in promoting development action by assessing the most effective way of creating particular projects & the results & ramifications of these projects. 3 recommendations are made: improve the supply of indigenous anthrop'ts in developing countries & ensure the recognition of their contribution in U's & gov service; call upon anthrop'ts in developed countries to orient their work in developing countries toward providing maximum support for the growth of sci in the countries concerned; & create an interdisciplinary profession of development advisers who do not have to know everything in one given discipline, but something about several disciplines. Soc sci'ts should devise an interdisciplinary curriculum for training such SE advisers. M. Maxfield.
The anthropology of the state and the state of anthropology in Brunei
In: Journal of Southeast Asian studies, Band 45, Heft 1, S. 90-112
ISSN: 0022-4634
This article provides a detailed account of the process of invention of a nationalist tradition for Brunei, the most tradition-conscious nation in Southeast Asia. It shows how Brunei's nationalist tradition emerged at the interface of colonial records, indigenous oral and written sources, ethnographic fieldwork, and anthropological theories. For this purpose the article traces the history of anthropological research in northern Borneo from its colonial beginnings to its postcolonial role in nation-building and shows how anthropology and anthropologists have - sometimes unknowingly, sometimes deliberately - played an active role in the shaping of Negara Brunei Darussalam.

Anthropology and economy
In: New departures in anthropology
"Comparative and critical, Anthropology and Economy offers a uniquely cross-cultural view of economy. Using examples from market and non-market situations, the book shows how economies are built on five increasingly abstract spheres, from the house to community, commerce, finance, and meta-finance. Across these spheres, economy incorporates a tension between self-interested rationality and the mutuality of social relationships. Even when rational processes predominate, as in markets, economies rely on sociability and ritual to operate, whether as cronyism, pleas to divinities or the magical persuasions of advertising. Drawing on data and concepts from anthropology and economics, the book addresses wealth inequality, resource depletion, and environmental devastation especially in capitalism, providing an understanding of their persistence and ideas for controlling them. Given the recent financial crash, Gudeman offers a different understanding of the crisis and suggestions for achieving greater economic stability"--

A History of Anthropology
In: Anthropology, Culture and Society
This is a thoroughly updated and revised edition of a popular classic of modern anthropology. Avoiding geographical bias, the authors provide summaries of 'Enlightenment', 'Romantic' and 'Victorian' anthropology, from the cultural theories of Morgan and Taylor to the often neglected contributions of German scholars. The ambiguous relationship between anthropology and national cultures is also considered, and the growth of distinctive national styles in anthropological research is highlighted.
A History of Anthropology is an unparalleled account of theoretical developments in anthropology from the 1920s to the present, including functionalism, structuralism, hermeneutics, neo-Marxism and discourse analysis. Major anthropologists are provided with brief biographies and key debates are covered such as those concerning totemism, kinship and globalisation.
This essential text on anthropology is highly engaging, authoritative and suitable for students at all levels.
