Period of Development
- 1st: development as a process of change
- 2nd: policy related and evaluative or indicator led, based on value judgments, and has short-to medium-term time horizons – development as the MDGs (Millennium Development Goals, เป้าหมายการพัฒนาแห่งสหัสวรรษ)
- 3rd: post-modernist, drawing attention to the ethnocentric and ideologically loaded Western conceptions of “development” and raising the possibilities of alternative conceptions.
