Summary, etc. This is a study of the important role of political authorities in generating political action to accomplish some bask human objectives of national development. Recent interest in poverty issues has raised important questions regarding the priority of developing human resources, but the available literature is remarkably innocent of the role of political action in promoting those human objectives.. Political of poverty alleviation through internally generated efforts in poor countries constitute the central theme of this study.<br/><br/>The author's examination of this theme is limited to three related aspects: the changing perspectives, the problems of formulating strategies of action for realizing revised perspectives, and how these strategies are actually translated into planned action by political authorities. Empirical material has been mainly derived from documentary and field interview sources in India, the Philippines and Kenya. The book concentrates on contemporary developmental action in India but also offers a brief comparison of the Indian experience with selected Asian and African cases.<br/><br/>The author has limited the discussion in this volume to rural development with special reference to public action directed to poverty alleviation, for the success or failure of political reform in this area affects the largest part of mankind. He further limits attention to gradualist political processes, as most developing countries follow gradualist methods and these need not be inconsistent with major transitions to accomplish appropriate economic, political, and human development
