THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT
1.2.
STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT THEORIES: focuses on the on the
sequential process through which the economic, industrial, and institutional structure
of an underdeveloped economy is transformed to permit new industries to replace
traditional agriculture as the engine of growth. Empirical structural-change
analysts, on the other hand, emphasize both domestic and international
constraints on development.
1.3.
Best-known
of 1.2. is the EMPIRICAL WORK OF HOLLIS CHENERY. Patterns identified by Hollis Chenery: shift from
agri to industrial production, steady accumulation of physical and human
capital, change in consumer demand from emphasis on food and basic necessities
in favor of diverse manufactured goods and services, growth of cities and urban
industries, decline in family size and overall population as children lose
their economic value.

Neocolonial
Dependence Model
2.2.
False-Paradigm
Models: attributes underdevelopment to faulty and inappropriate advise provided
by well-meaning but often uninformed, biased, and ethnocentric international
“expert” advisers from developed-country assistance agencies and multinational
donor organizations
2.3.
Dualistic-Development Thesis
a)
Two
or several sets of conditions can co-exist in a given space, of which some are
“superior” and the others “inferior”
b)
Co-existence
of the situation in (a) is chronic and not merely transitional
c)
Not
only do the degrees of superiority or inferiority tend to persist; the degrees
of superiority and inferiority even worsen
d)
The
relation between the superior and the inferior is such that the superior
element does little or nothing to pull up the inferior and superior even push
down the inferior
