Summary, etc. There is a complete lack of definitional consensus regarding both the concept and the content of development. Over the years, in fact, the tendency has been to view development as a purely economic and hence narrow process whereas, in fact, it needs to be seen as a qualitative adjunct of social change. This book seeks to clarify the concept of development while emphasising its crucial pragmatic dimensions.<br/>The common aim of the eight essays which comprise this volume is to achieve an optimum mix between the academic and the practical in the process of understanding the concept of development. Such a synthesis can then, hopefully, be used as a basis for evolving effective strategies for Third World development. As such, the contributors do not, in any way, try to evolve definitions. Rather, they emphasise the crucial human currents and controversies which have featured in the development de bate of the last decade.<br/><br/>Among the issues discussed in this volume are community health care, the psychological and political dimensions of development, the role religion can play, and educational and technological innovations.<br/>Providing a rare mix of the academic and the pragmatic, this book is a notabale addition to the literature on development studies. It will be widely welcomed by both the academic community and grassroots activists as also by policy-makers and administrators.
