The Concept of the World View in Comparative Politico-Economic Perspective

Abstract

The following schema will constitute the substance of this chapter: an introduction will be given to current development issues in the light of traditional thinking in Development Studies. In discussing these issues, focus will be placed on the 1990 Stockholm Report (also referred to here as the Stockholm Initiative), Common Responsibility in the 1990s.1 A critical review of the various development paradigms in the light of economic thinking will be undertaken. On this topic, the introductory parts of the book, Development Strategies Reconsidered,2 will be considered. From these traditional perspectives and current issues of global development, the centrepiece of the world-view concept in development theorizing will be formalized. It will be shown that the concept of world view here revolves around the keynote of ethical primacy in all development issues. Ethics-centred global development will thus be shown to evolve in a natural way in an altogether new framework of development theory and perceptions from the main-stream one.
