The questions
2008
Why is an understanding of the meaning of development crucial to policy formulation in Developing Nations? Do you think it is possible for a nation to agree on a rough definition of development and orient its strategies for achieving these objectives accordingly? What might be some of the road block or constraints in realizing these development objectives – economic and non-economic?
