Author : Samir Muhammad Ali Hassan Alredaisy
Abstract
This research aims to clarify and discuss the theoretical bases of Sudanese development planning and their related negative impactsfrom1898-1990.Sudan in its progress towards achieving development during that period adopted not exclusively, the concept of spread of innovation, the center-periphery theory, the growth poles strategy, the theory of general polarized development, the cumulative causation, and models of economic duality. Basically, they correspond with capitalist and socialist thought of development. They resulted in an imbalanced pattern of regional development, the agricultural dualism of deteriorating traditional and modern irrigated agricultural sectors, and environmental degradation, especially in areas with high ecological fragility, rural impoverishment, and socio-political instability. This research views these negative impacts as due mainly to the alienation of development planning from Sudan’s internal reality.
