Meaning and scope of sociology of development

The sociology of development studies how social structures, cultural norms, and power relations shape and are shaped by development processes. Mastering its core ideas—definition, scope, theoretical lenses, and the link between social change and economic growth—is crucial for analysing development policies and for answering exam questions that ask for critical evaluation of development strategies.
