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.
