Abstract
Development research needs conceptual clarifications. The present study tries to reveal them in the attempt to set up a research program based on the following options: a) diagnoses and forecasts are indispensable; b) data, development goals, development modeling, strategies and actors of development strategies need to be addressed in correlation; c) successful strategies in changing the situations may not to be suitable for the construction of new situations; d) the role of the institutions and of the State in development needs reassessment, both the “invading” and the “feeble” State being counter indicated; e) community culture is a premise of crucial importance in development; f) development cannot be achieved by simply restoring traditions, since, from, the very beginning, it involves historical innovation
