WINDOWS ON THE FUTURE—THE TWO WORLDS OF DEVELOPMENT PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS

Pages 1-6 | Published online: 10 Dec 2009
 

Abstract

The world is making a major transition from an industrial/nation-state paradigm to a dual system global/local world, a global village and a globe of villages. The old imagery of the "three worlds of development" is an out-dated notion that needs to be thrown away. The new world offers many opportunities for community development to be a central driving force of development, placing community at the center. Two especially important challenges will be the creating of new political structures reflective of the transitions taking place and the de institutionalizing of the human services professions while returning control and responsibility to the community.
