Theories of Development (book)

"Theories of Development" refers to various frameworks that explain how societies progress and evolve over time. Key theories include modernism, which suggests that development follows a linear path from traditional to modern societies; dependency theory, which argues that resources flow from poorer nations to richer ones, perpetuating inequality; and sustainable development, which emphasizes balancing economic growth with environmental protection and social equity. These theories help us understand the complexities of economic, social, and political changes, and provide insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by nations in their development journeys.
