African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, Mzumbe, 2nd - 7th July 1979
(African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, 1979-07-07) Anacleti, A.
This document details the presentation and critique of Lead Paper I, "The Concept of Development in the Social Sciences," at the African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research in Mzumbe. Presented by the workshop's preparatory committee, the paper lays a foundation for discussing development models in the social sciences, divided into sections on OBET, RS, HM, and Socialist Development. Key themes include critiques of capitalist property relations, the scarcity of resources, the universality of capitalist models, and the lack of adequate consideration for Third World specificities. The paper introduces theoretical perspectives on Dependency Theory, the Centre-Periphery Model, and dialectical materialism but receives critical feedback for lacking concrete action-oriented analysis and being too abstract for practical application.
