How do the intellectual origins and historical background of western and other theories of development affect their relevance to contemporary Third-World conditions? This is the central question behind Gavin Kitchingâe(tm)s examination of âe~development studiesâe(tm), first published in 1982, from its origins in the late 1940s through to the contemporary era. While presenting the contemporary âe~radical orthodoxyâe(tm) of development studies, Kitching argues that these theories are continuations of much older traditions of populist and neo-populist thought.

Contends that western economic history should not be rejected as irrelevant to developing countries, and, in particular, that industrialisation cannot be avoided. Within the context of this premise, looks critically at the theories of underdevelopment proposed by the ILO's World Employment Programme, and the writings of Nyerere, Michael Lipton and E.F. Schumacher which are based on neo-populism (i. e. that development is not dependent upon large-scale industrialisation and urbanisation), and the nationalist dimension of neo-populist thought. Assesses neo-populist development strategies as implemented in Tanzania and China.

Why has Africa remained persistently poor over its recorded history? Has Africa always been poor? What has been the nature of Africa's poverty and how do we explain its origins? This volume takes a necessary interdisciplinary approach to these questions by bringing together perspectives from archaeology, linguistics, history, anthropology, political science, and economics. Several contributors note that Africa's development was at par with many areas of Europe in the first millennium of the Common Era. Why Africa fell behind is a key theme in this volume, with insights that should inform Africa's developmental strategies.
