Development theory has been in crisis since the 1980s. This crisis reflects the fact that dominant theories have not been able to provide adequate answers to explain why the developing world is still underdeveloped. The main alternative emerged in the past decade, post-development, represents a radical critique of means, goals, and outcomes of the «development project». Therefore, the question that this essay tries to answer concerns how development theory, including post-development, can help us improve the quality of life in the developing world. The «relevance» of development theory cannot be achieved by re-proposing lost paradigms but only by incorporating new knowledge, including post-development thinking. Development is no longer state-led, as suggested by modernization and dependency theory; it is no longer market-led, as suggested by neo-liberalism; it is no longer society-led, as suggested by alternative development: rather, it must be a combination of all these perspectives.
