Reflections on Third World Development: Ground Level Reality, Exogenous Forces, and Conventional Paradigms
认为传统发展框架不足以解释第三世界的区域变化，主张研究应聚焦地方如何受全球经济政治条件、援助国行动及本国政策的影响，并提出融合通则与个案的研究策略。
This paper argues that regional change in Third World settings is inadequately addressed by conventional development frameworks. Instead, research ought to focus on the local articulation of world economic and political conditions, donor nation actions, and policies of Third World governments. Emerging from the discussion is a research strategy that emphasizes the intersection of forces exogenous to locales and local characteristics, draws on detailed knowledge of both, and seeks to provide circumscribed generalizations. This tactic implements a fusion of approaches, blending the nomothetic perspective of development paradigms and the idiographic perspective identified with traditional regional geography.
