Abstract
The first section of the chapter surveys Sen's ideas on capability and development, situating his approach within broader debates over development. This approach provides a robust critique of the economic development orthodoxy, yet also remains limited within the liberal paradigm that gives authority to prevailing development strategies. The second section examines the MDG-based development strategy which currently guides development practice internationally. The third section provides a case study of the problematics raised in the previous sections by examining development progress in PNG.
