当代国外发展理论的历史演进及其启示

The Historical Evolution of Contemporary Foreign Development Theory and Its Enlightenment

当代国外发展理论的历史演进以20世纪60年代和80年代为时间节点,主要划分为40年代到60年代中期、60年代中期到80年代初期及80年代至今三个历史阶段。其探讨的核心问题重点集中在把发展等同于单纯的经济增长、把发展与人的主体价值相关联以及把发展看成一种制度性的安排。随着社会环境和客观实际的变化,每一代发展观的提出又面临着诸多现实问题。通过对当代西方发展理论的核心观点的深入剖析,揭示发展的本质及其内在矛盾,对于深刻认识我国的发展问题具有重要的参考价值。

The historical evolution of contemporary foreign development theory is based on the 1960s and 1980s.It is mainly divided into three historical stages from the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s,the mid-1960s to the early 1980s,and the 1980s to the present.The core issues it explores focus on equating development with pure economic growth,linking development to human subjectivity,and viewing development as an institutional arrangement.With the changes in the social environment and objective reality,each generation of development concept has faced many practical problems,and ultimately deviated from the purpose and original intention of development.Through the in-depth analysis of the core viewpoints of contemporary Western development theories,revealing the nature of development and its inherent contradictions,it has important reference value for a profound understanding of China’s development problems.
