Abstract: Abstract For many developing countries, the difficulties with orthodox development strategies lie not just in the relatively slow and uncertain pace of the development process but more significantly, in the very nature of the development model that has been adopted so far. It is a model in which excessive emphasis has been placed on the economic aspects, a model that has generated significant inequities, a model that is not meaningful for a large proportion of the world’s population, and a model that may not be sustainable in the longer-term. These concerns have provoked a critical questioning of present forms and processes of development, and have led to a search for better and more viable alternatives.1
