Abstract

The chapter examines the emergence of the modern study of development and the ways in which the problems and processes of “development” have been studied, recognizing that the often abstract work of economics needs to become more firmly anchored in an appreciation of the complexity of the process of development. The paper suggests that a 'learning process' is at work within the broad field of the study of development.
