“A SCIENTIFIC SCRUTINY ON THE STABLE DEVELOPMENT THEORIES”
Dr. AHMAD REZA BABAEI
ABSTRACT
We have concentrated on some important theories of the development especially, for our society regarding the effects of the science. In this article we will explain and discuss about following theories of the development:
Development theory: Is a conglomeration of theories about how desirable change in society is best to be achieved. Such theories draw on a variety of social scientific disciplines and approaches. Modernization Theory: Is a theory of development which states that the development can be achieved through following the processes of development that were used by the currently developed countries. Scholars such as Walt Rostow and A.F.K. Organski developed stages of development through which every country develops. Samuel Huntington determined development to be a linear process which every country must go through. Dependency Theory: While Modernization Theory understood development and as a result from internal conditions that differ between economies, dependency theoryunderstood development and underdevelopment as relational. Informed by Marxist insights, they argued that development was a result of underdevelopment, and underdevelopment was a result of development
World Systems Theory: In response to some of the criticisms of Dependency Theory came World Systems Theory, which the division of periphery and center was further divided into a trimodal system consisting of the core, semi-periphery and periphery. In this system, the semi-periphery lies between the core and periphery and is exploited by the core and exploits the periphery. This division aims to explain the industrialization within lesser developed countries. State Theory: In response to the distrust of the state in World Systems Theory, is State Theory. State Theory is based upon the view that the economy is intertwined with politics and therefore the take-off period in development is unique to each country. State Theory emphasized the effects of class relations and the strength and autonomy of the state on historical outcomes.
