Land reform and development, pt. 1 : the model tested by scalogramme analysis
THIS STUDY FIRST EXAMINED PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED HYPOTHESES ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP OF LAND REFORM TO GENERAL DEVELOPMENT AND SECOND, TESTED THE POTENTIAL OF AN ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUE KNOWN AS GUTTMAN SCALING AS A MECHANISM FOR INTERRELATING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA ON SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO OBTAIN A BETTER OVERALL PERSPECTIVE ON A GIVEN COUNTRY"S LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT AND A CLEARER PICTURE OF THE RELATIVE IMPACT OF VARIOUS FACTORS IN EACH OF THESE THREE DEVELOPMENT CATEGORIES AT VARIOUS STAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

Abstract
IT WAS POSSIBLE TO DEVELOP AND TEST AS SIGNIFICANT A GENERAL DEVELOPMENT AND AGRARIAN REFORM MODEL CONSTRUCTED FOR ANALYSIS AND APPLICATION TO POLICY FORMULATION AND AGRARIAN REFORM PROGRAMS. IT COULD BE SHOWN THAT QUALITATIVE DATA IN BINARY FORM CAN BE USED TO SUBSTANTIATE THE PHASES AND STRUCTURAL SEQUENCE OF THE MODEL THROUGH THE MEASURED RANKING OF THE EXISTING LEVEL OF INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE.
