As the literature on development has proliferated, communication among those who approach development from different perspectives, disciplines, and professions has become more strained. In this innovative text, Jan Black argues that what is missing is "appropriate theory." In the first section she presents the differing and even contradictory definitions of development and the various explanatory models and means of measurement associated with them.
