Abstract

This article makes a critical analysis of the various ways in which the concept of styles of development has been used, especially by those participating in the recent efforts to shape a unified approach to development. First of all, it briefly summarizes the main stages in the evolution of recent thinking on this matter, beginning with development strategies defined from a strictly economic point of view. It goes on to describe how social aspects — education, health, housing, social security, etc. — were gradually added, while more recently attempts have been made to incorporate elements of a sociological and political nature. Finally, a critical analysis is made of some of these attempts (especially those based on an analysis of the agents of development), and the article concludes with a definition of the concept of styles of development and an enumeration of the criteria which should be used as a guide in their analysis.
