Development: Reading Into Representations Of The Concept

Authors : Bourouaiah Yazid . Boukelmoune Daoued .

Abstract

The researchers aim to evoke the historical context of the concept of development, which contributed greatly to building representations of it and worked to consolidate it so that it became the direction of the behavior of societies in their political, economic, social and cultural aspects. For this reason, the researchers sought to analyze the structure of development by identifying its main dimensions, which constitute a rich semantic field. It has a general meaning, and the study concluded that the meaning of development cannot be understood if it is reduced to one of its dimensions. Rather, we should pay attention to the other dimensions, especially the social ones, as it is the incubator of the practices in which the various meanings of development are articulated.
