"Models and Realities" An Introduction

The Pakistan Development Review, 1980, vol. 19, issue 2, 85-90

Abstract: This is the first of a series of symposiawe are organizingin the pages of the Pakistan Development Review to fix our gaze on the twilight zone lying between the theory and the practice of development economics. In the Autumn of 1979-1 must confess, not without a tinge of autumnal depression-I had addressedletters to about 50 scholars working in this general area announcing that "it is proposed to bring out symposium issues of the Pakistan Development Review focusing on the State of Development Economics, which in the opinion of many has not yet attained its 'steady-state'. It is, therefore, essential to have a second (or nth!) look at the state of ttJ,eart in the general area of development economics, not only to satisfy our academic appetite and to whet it a little bit more, but also to provide proper guidelines for policy formulation".
