But they have rarely been analysed in their own terms and for what they are - the application of marxist-leninist theory by Soviet scholars to the problems of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Based on research in Paris, New York, the Soviet Union, and India, this book provides a long needed insight into how Soviet thinkers understand such crucial problems in development as planning in mixed economies, foreign aid from socialist and capitalist donors, agrarian reform, and the class struggle.A concerned observer of Soviet development theory for some fifteen years, Stephen Clarkson is neither hostile nor uncritical. He argues that western students and third world policy-makers alike have a good deal to learn from marxist-leninist political economy because it presents an integrated approach to understanding the dilemmas of underdevelopment. Although Soviet scholarship benefits from some important theoretical advantages, it also suffers, in Clarkson's view, from severe intellectual handicaps. The book examines the Soviet analysis of third world development as a whole, drawing particularly on the most extensive and sophisticated school of interpretation, the Russian writings on India.This book makes an important contribution to Soviet and third world studies by offering the reader a guide to the publications on development, a complex and evolving aspect of the Soviet view of the world. 606 $aMarxian economics 607 $aIndia$xEconomic policy 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic policy 615 0$aMarxian economics. 676 $a338.9/001 700 $aClarkson$b Stephen$0650752 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148692303321 996 $aThe Soviet Theory of Development$91976603 997 $aUNINA
