Models of the development process: A review

Abstract

Summary This paper reviews models of the development process. The objective is to assess their capacity to analyse the detail of agency relationships in the negotiation of development projects, while at the same time offering ways of generalizing about the significance of actors and events in the development process under different conditions. The models reviewed are grouped into four types: equilibrium models, event sequence models, agency models and structural models. Each makes a contribution to the objective set out, but none fully addresses the range of possible forms and dynamics which the development process may make. An alternative model is developed in a subsequent paper.
