This article substantially revises and develops an earlier working paper of the Development Policy and Practice Research Group (DPP) at the Open University (No. 16 1989) on which useful comments were made collectively by Roland Brouwer, Kees Jansen, Peter Mollinga and Jos Mooij, and individually by Terry Byres, Brian Cooksey, Frank Ellis, Peter Gibbon, and Gavin Kitching. The author's thinking on the issues has been stimulated by discussions with co‐workers in DPP Maureen Mackintosh and Peter Mollinga, who will not necessarily agree with what follows, and by the important book of Philip Raikes (1988).
