Description

Explore the evolution of development research with Social Change and Development by Alvin Y. So. This text from the SAGE Library of Social Research examines the three major schools of thought that have shaped the field over the last forty years. Follow the progression from the modernization school of the 1950s to the dependency school of the 1960s and the world-system school of the 1970s. The book analyzes how these theories converged in the 1980s and explores how each school has defended its position, criticized its peers, and transformed over time. Through a review of various empirical studies, So provides a deep look at the classical and new perspectives that define modern social science and development studies.
