The paper also reviews the ways in which, in the first years after Independence in 1975, by supporting capitalist modernization in the context of Papua New Guinea's growing incorporation into the dominant world economy, the State promoted uneven growth. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/38013/ 1979-09-01T00:00:00Z This analysis is the result of a study undertaken in the Philippines in the course of 1975. Fieldwork was preceded and followed by a series of meetings with officials of the Department of Social Welfare and of other Departments, as well as with scholars of the University of the Philippines and of the Catholic University. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/38011/ 1979-08-01T00:00:00Z The purpose of the paper is not to attempt a full interpretation of the Indonesian situation, but to briefly discuss some basic processes and issues related to the use of science and technology. The views expressed are necessarily partial and tentative and are advanced so as to serve as a starting point for discussion and further analysis. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37970/ 1979-01-01T00:00:00Z The history of China is marked by peasant rebellions which, when they succeeded, occasionally led to mitigation of extreme inequality and oppression and a change in dynasty but without substantial reorganization of the social structure. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37515/ 1975-12-01T00:00:00Z The search for an integrated approach to development theory and practice has not suddenly and accidentally fallen from the sky. It reflects the failure of hitherto pursued policies and strategies and is engendered by the pressures resulting from the aggravation of the conditions of the masses, living in poverty and destitution, faced with insecurity of survival and a dim perspective for self-realisation. These conditions tend to deteriorate in countries which as yet have not chosen to secure the livelihood of all, to principally rely on the creative and productive power of their own people and to mobilise in first instance their resources for self-reliant national development. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37519/ 1975-06-01T00:00:00Z In April 1974, at the conclusion of the Sixth Session on Raw Materials, the United National General Assembly (unanimously but without vote) adopted a declaration on the establishment of a new international economic order. This testified to growing pressure for changing the balance of forces in the world. It also reflected the fact that the struggle for modifying the balance of power between Third World countries vis-a-vis First and Second World countries had entered into a new stage. First and Second World countries, pressed by their ruling classes and productive structures, seek to consolidate their hegemoney albeit with modified terms, and to secure the continued expansion and protection of their economies and welfare, supported by the maintenance of asymmetric relations with the Third World countries. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37513/ 1974-08-01T00:00:00Z This paper represents an attempt to interpret some of the praemisses and implications of what recently has come to be called the 'unified approach' to development. It relies implicitly on an interpretation of the underlying tendencies in the discussions at the United Nations experts meeting on the Unified Approach, held in Stockholm in November 1972, and on the document which served as a basis for discussion at this meeting. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37494/ 1973-03-01T00:00:00Z If we think about the problems of hunger and poverty, it is likely that when we belong to a group or society with superior power and affluence, that we approach it very differently from people who live and work on the edge of starvation and who suffer from the disabling effects of poverty and impoverishment. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37512/ 1973-03-01T00:00:00Z This report has as its objective to undertake an analysis of the development process as it has evolved in Peru over the two year period 1968-1970, to examine some of the basic problems contained in this process, to interpret the direction in which it goes and to suggest a position towards it. Within this context, I shall especially focus on the function of social mobilization in development and its relationship to three major reforms the Military Government has introduced. This report is the result of my work at the National Community Development Office and the National Planning Institute. A more detailed (project) analysis of the National Comrnunity Development Programme and of the Government's Development policy, in particular the Agrarian Reform, can be found in three previous reports. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37460/ 1973-02-01T00:00:00Z Few experienced fieldwerkers in community development who attend advanced training programmes have any expectation of acquiring a cut-and-dried solution that can be applied to problems in the field. Moreover, it is now wellknown that the advanced nations cannot provide the so-called developing countries with lucid and effective development schemes or models ready for immediate use. The available tools for analysis, interpretation and evaluation of data and situations need te be made or adapted for particular circumstances at particular times http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37462/ 1973-02-01T00:00:00Z Central in the social policy programme has been the praemisse that in order to come to a true understanding of the dynamics of the processes of societal change and transformation, harmony of interests between and within societies cannot be assumed and that the implicit insistence on such harmony and identity of interests diverts the attention from the underlying forces shaping society. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37492/ 1973-02-01T00:00:00Z One of the major contradictions in the world of today surely is the fact that most third World countries, although the majority of their population is involved in agriculture, are not in a position to feed themselves and have to import food on a large scale. While agricultural and food exports from the rich to the poor countries have been rising in response to increased productivity, exports from the poor to the rich countries have been diminishing. While prices of products from the rich aountrieshave been rising, those of products from the poor countries have declined or tend to decline. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/37435/ 1973-01-01T00:00:00Z The concept of marginalization has its genesis in the processes of transformation which have characterized the societies of Latin America (CEPAL). It is increasingly being used to denote similar processes in other parts of the world through which groups of the population are relegated to conditions which do not allow them to participate actively, eguitably and productively in the societies of which they form part. The concept has a dynamic connotation as it suggests the processes by which people become marginal. For some years the attention of social scientists was geared less to the nature of the processes which bring about a state of marginality than to the state of marginality itself, understood as a set of conditions which should serve to explain the particular problems and nature of that part of the population which had become marginal.
