There are esential qualitative dimensions in the development process that extend beyond the growth or expansion of an economy through a simple widening process. “It involves profound historical, economic and social change that must be studied as such through a methodology that reflects systemic change.” Development economics considers how to promote economic growth by improving factors such as health, education, working conditions, domestic and international policies, and market conditions in developing countries. While development economics is a branch of economics and builds mainly upon the core models of the discipline, development studies is an multidisciplinary branch of social science and uses models and techniques not only from economics but also from politics, sociology, history, geography, social anthropology, and international relations.
