Development is a multidimensional concept that encompasses economic growth, social progress, political stability, environmental sustainability, and cultural advancement. In the context of gender and development, it also emphasizes the equitable participation of all genders in these processes. Development involves improving the quality of life, reducing poverty, ensuring access to education and healthcare, and expanding human capabilities and freedoms. It is not limited to economic indicators such as GDP but includes aspects like human rights, equity, and empowerment. The emergence of development as a formal concept began in the post-World War II era. The devastation of the war, coupled with the decolonization of many countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, led to the creation of new nation-states facing severe poverty, underdevelopment, and institutional instability. The idea of development became central to international relations and policy, with the aim of helping these newly independent countries “catch up” with industrialized nations. This gave rise to development theories that sought to understand and address the causes of poverty and underdevelopment. One of the earliest and most influential development paradigms was the modernization theory, which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Modernization theory argued that underdeveloped countries were in an earlier stage of a linear path of progress that Western countries had already traversed. The theory viewed development as a unidirectional process of transformation from traditional to modern societies, emphasizing industrialization, urbanization, technological advancement, and a shift in social and cultural norms. American sociologist Walt Rostow’s "Stages of Economic Growth" (1960) is a classic example of modernization theory. Rostow proposed that all societies progress through five linear stages: traditional society, preconditions for take-off, take-off, drive to maturity, and age of high mass consumption.
