The article discusses the book "European Studies in Development," by J. De Bandt, P. Mandi and D. Seers. The book contains 27 research papers on European development, European policy and world development, and Third World development. It also contains a brief introduction and rationale of the 1978 conference of the "European Association of Development Institutes" in Milan. The book applies the concept of centre-periphery and socio-economic indicators to the European countries. Papers on themes such as trade relationships, commodity prices and stabilization funds, aid, the cultural needs of migrant workers and solar energy as a candidate for appropriate technology are present. The diversity of approaches and of themes in Third World development is well illustrated in the book. The papers in this book deal with an enormous range of development themes. Choice of research, technology and education are discussed implicitly against local appraisals. The book sought to balance the broader distillations from development with the help of detailed records from which new attitudes emerge.
