Abstract: Debates about development include not only statements but also actions and programmes, and constitute a discourse that both derives from the past and shapes the response to the future. The debates in Egypt and India are contrasting, along the three dimensions of conflict, cooperation and consciousness or awareness. Using three different examples (dam construction, sugar production, and the role of consciousness), this paper compares the debates about development in these two different national traditions. The discourse about development includes opposition between sets of ideas. It is subject to change as anomalies emerge that no longer fit the categories of the debate.
