If a theoretical treatment,Of.economicdevelopment' in historical context' and a specific 'analysisof a contemporarydeveloping country ii.e'both relevant, thisbibliography obviouslymust cover a wide 'range of materials. After the first meetings with thedirectors, 'the researchteimS two and the advisory group ofthe entire Rural DevelopmentoProject, iv points became evident. A bibliography as wide-ranging asthat called for by the contract would be of little useto other researchteams unless (1) it was annotated in considerabledetail, and (2) it was indexed in such a way as to facilitate a rapidand precise searchfor mmwoialft relevant to the various and separateresearch endeavors. While originally we had not planned to providesuch complete annota- tions or so detailed an indexing and searchsystem, we wereconvinaed that unless some effort was made in thesedirections ourproduct:would not be worthwhile. To the degree that ourbudget allowed, we have built these two features into the bibliography. all The bibliography appears in threes volumes. ,Volume I includes of the periodical materials covered; Volume II is devotedto books and book-length monographs; Volume III covers governmentand United Nations publications, in addition to proceedingsof specializedconferences. the For detailed matters concerning eachof the three volumes, see specific introductm that follows thispreface. Preparation of the bibliography wasunder the directionof Professors Richard Blue, Robert T. :dolt,and John E. Turner,all of whom were involved at one stage oranother in preparingand processing abstracting, the materials. In the research, and inthe collecting:, and propositionalizing of materialsthey were assistedby Richard Erikson, and David Garnham, Diane Johnson, SusanLampland, Lawrence Rose, Pioske John Sohwestka. Misses Diane Johnson,Beverly Nelson, and Diane did yeoman service in the mammoth task of typing. Although many of the abstracts and all of the propositions were prepared by our research team, a majority of the abstracts were adapted from several published abstracts. We would like to thank the publishers of Economic Abstracts and the Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux that is responsible for publishing W.p._.t'oxSd.AicultmslleonomicsanR,....A.E41 Sociology Abstracts for permission to reproduce these adapted abstracts in this form. Thanks are also due to the .directors of the CIC-AID Rural Develop- ment Project, Dr. Ira Baldwin and Mr. Ronald W. Jones, for their support of our undertaking. The user of this bibliography might well wonder why in this age. of advanced computor technology such a long bibliography was not pre- pared in a machine-readable and therefore machine-searchable form. Our initial predisposition was to move in this direction, but thefUnds necessary to put the bibliography in this form were notavailable. We have; however, kept our working materials in such a form that we tan. eventually put the entire bibliography on computor tape. Robert T. Holt Associate Director Center for Comparative Political Analysis January 1, 1967 vi Introductionto Volume II Books and Book Length Monographs The selection of books to be included in Volume II of this bibliography involved some difficult decisions for our research team. The limits on our financial resources made it implssible to include everything of relevance. The major categorical decision that was made to limit the size was to exclude Ph.D. theses. Other works were ex- cluded on the basis of ad hoc decisions made in the process of examining individual titles. Some works were so familiar to researchers in the field that it seemed to be of little 'service to the Rural Development Research Project to include them. This bibliography therefore must be looked upon as a select bibliography designed specifically for the use of the Rural Development Research Project. Our sresearch group did not have the resources necessary to provide complete annotation of the materials included in Volume II. It was also impossible to provide as detailed an index and search system as was prepared for Volume I. Materials included in Volume II can be most easily located by using the Table of Contents on the following pages. This Table of Contents is organized both topically and geographically. On materials relating to a specific country it enables one to locate quickly the relevant works. If the materials on a given country are vii contained in a work that deals witha geographic region, it would be included in topical sub-categories undera continental heading. The most general works have been listed at the beginning of the Table of Contents under topical sub-headings. viii Table of Contents I. Political Development 1 II. Education 10 III.

  • 1 Mini-Literature Review Student Identity Development Theory
    Mini-Literature review Student Identity Development Theory INTRODUCTION Student development theory is an area of study that tries to identify, describe, explain and predict human behaviors as student’s transition from adolescence to adulthood. Over the past few decades, the study of student development has paid particular focus on identity development of college students. As colleges welcome a more complex and diverse student population, the study (and practice) of college student identity development now considers a more holistic approach. It is a theoretical orientation where political, historical and cultural contexts place socially constructed factors on identity development. Drawing on both foundational scholarship and current research, the purpose of this review is to present the more holistic perspective of identity development currently followed by scholars and researchers in the field to inform a more inclusive learning environment within higher education. One of the more widely used and referenced books on identity development for college students is the 1998 book, Student Development in College. Now in its 2nd edition, the book was one of the first to combine development theories into a series of categories ranging from psychosocial theories, cognitive and moral theories to typological and person-environmental theories. Each theory addressed in the book seeks to answer the following developmental questions (Knefelkamp, Widick, & Parker, 1978 in Evans, Forney, Guido, Renn, and Patton, 2010 p. 24): 1. What interpersonal and intrapersonal changes occur while the student is in college? 2. What factors lead to this development? 3. What aspect of the college environment encourage or retard growth? 4. What development outcomes should we strive to achieve in college? FOUNDATIONAL THEORIES ON STUDENT DEVELOPMENT One of the foundational theories addressed in Student Development in College is Chickering’s Theory of Identity Development.

Department of Polit_i_g^j;_s_gience The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date September, 2, 1966 ii ABSTRACT The emergence since World War II of many new states in Asia and Africa has stimulated a renewed interest of sociology and political science in the non-western social and political process and an enhanced concern with the problem of political development in these areas. The source of contemporary concepts of political development can be located in the ideas of the social philosophers of the nineteenth century. Maine, Toennies, Durkheim, and Weber were the first social observers to deal with the phenomena of social and political development in a rigorously analytical manner and their analyses provided contemporary political development theorists with seminal ideas that led to the identification of the major properties of the developed political condition.

However, it is prone to confusion in public debate as it tends to mean different things to different The understanding of inequality has evolved from the people. Some distinctions are common though. Many authors traditional outcome-oriented view, whereby income is distinguish “economic inequality”, mostly meaning “income used as a proxy for well-being. The opportunity-oriented inequality”, “monetary inequality” or, more broadly, inequality perspective acknowledges that circumstances of birth are in “living conditions”. Others further distinguish a rights-based, essential to life outcomes and that equality of opportunity legalistic approach to inequality—inequality of rights and asso- requires a fair starting point for all. ciated obligations (e.g. when people are not equal before the law, or when people have unequal political power).

  • Development, Post-, Anti-, and Populist: a Critical Review
    Environment and Planning A 2000, volume 32, pages 1033 ^ 1050 DOI:10.1068/a3251 Development, post-, anti-, and populist: a critical review Piers Blaikie School of Development Studies, University of East Anglia, Norwich, England; e-mail: [email protected] Received 2 April 1999; in revised form 9 September 1999 Abstract. The notion and practice of development have been severely critiqued from both modernist and postmodernist perspectives, yet the global development industry flourishes. The latter have afforded important insights, but also suffer from unexamined ideological agendas, a disinclination to undertake detailed research into development processes and policy, a preoccupation with texts and representations by the development industry, and from perpetuating an indulgent and agenda-less academic cul-de-sac. Instead, the postmodern critique of development could lead to a more politically astute and practical reconstruction of certain aspects of `development', particularly in the neopopulist mode of developmentalism. Three powerful development paradigms are identified, and the ways in which they are constructed, promoted, and adapted are discussed in the light of conflicting modernist and postmodern accounts. Postmodern engagement with development There has been a profound sense of disappointment and reappraisal in the global development project since the 1960s, yet the project continues. This has come about after a long history of modernist critiques, which have judged the results of develop- ment in their own terms (it failed to deliver what it promised), as well as the more recent postmodern turn which social science has taken, which has sought to portray development as a metanarrative ripe for deconstruction, and to interrogate its intellec- tual and epistemological foundations, but, I argue, has led development debate into some confusing and exposed terrains.

  • Module 7 Key Thinkers Lecture 36 Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer
    NPTEL – Humanities and Social Sciences – Introduction to Sociology Module 7 Key Thinkers Lecture 36 Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer The thoughts of Auguste Comte (1798-1857), who coined the term sociology, while dated and riddled with weaknesses, continue in many ways to be important to contemporary sociology. First and foremost, Comte's positivism — the search for invariant laws governing the social and natural worlds — has influenced profoundly the ways in which sociologists have conducted sociological inquiry. Comte argued that sociologists (and other scholars), through theory, speculation, and empirical research, could create a realist science that would accurately "copy" or represent the way things actually are in the world. Furthermore, Comte argued that sociology could become a "social physics" — i.e., a social science on a par with the most positivistic of sciences, physics. Comte believed that sociology would eventually occupy the very pinnacle of a hierarchy of sciences. Comte also identified four methods of sociology. To this day, in their inquiries sociologists continue to use the methods of observation, experimentation, comparison, and historical research. While Comte did write about methods of research, he most often engaged in speculation or theorizing in order to attempt to discover invariant laws of the social world. Comte's famed "law of the three stages" is an example of his search for invariant laws governing the social world. Comte argued that the human mind, individual human beings, all knowledge, and world history develop through three successive stages. The theological stage is dominated by a search for the essential nature of things, and people come to believe that all phenomena are created and influenced by gods and supernatural forces.

  • Student Development Theory
    Student Development Theory Carolyn Farley Michael Walker Why is Student Development Theory Important? Justifies our profession and legitimatizes relevance of Student Affairs Professionals Helps us understand our audience; talk their language Helps us “meet students where they are” Teaches us how students rationalize, behave and develop as human beings Helps us understand opportunities and limits 2 SDT also… Helps us: understand where students are within a human development continuum (where they were and where they are going developmentally); understand how to address the “whole person” complement academics with co-curriculars; account for the development and needs of special populations Provides “description, explanation, prediction, and control” (DiCaprio, 1974, in Forney, Evans & Guido-DiBrito, 1998). Characteristics of Millennials Through their research, Howe and Strauss (2000) found that seven key characteristics define today’s 18-22 year old college students (as well as 23-25 year old graduate students). These traits include: Special - many from smaller families with fewer siblings to compete with, so received greater attention and increased security from mom and dad (known as “helicopter parents” due to their constant hovering around their children). Sheltered - more than previous generations, parents kept them closer to home with a focus on safety and connection to family, but also involved with many organized activities and sports. Confident - increased parental involvement and coaching/external adult involvement gave them lots of support and self-confidence. Student Affairs: Creating Experiences for Life Millennial Characteristics cont. Team-oriented - grew up among most diverse American population ever, and learned to be civil and less “me-oriented” than previous generations.

McLean Susan A. Lynham Committee Members, Toby M. Egan Manda H. Rosser Head of Department, Fredrick M. Nafukho August 2010 Major Subject: Educational Human Resource Development iii ABSTRACT Exploring Paradigms of Human Resource Development. (August 2010) Andrew Christopher Hurt, B.S., Purdue University; M.S., Purdue University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Gary N. McLean Dr. Susan A. Lynham This study focused on the issue of paradigms in Human Resource Development (HRD). Its purpose was to validate the HRD Cube as a synthesized model of HRD and to explicate some of the extant paradigms of HRD. The study was carried out by examining the text of articles published in Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD)-sponsored journals. Purposeful, stratified, and random sampling was used to select 16 articles published in AHRD-sponsored journals. Articles were treated as if they were the representative voice(s) of their author(s). Data units from within each article were identified and coded using two sequential techniques. First, units were axially coded and sorted into one of seven pre-determined categories based on the axioms of theory, research, and practice.
