Who among the following stated that a developing society in order to reach the goals of development would have to pass through the stages of political unification, industrialization, national welfare and abundance ?

  • A.Rustow
  • B.Organski
  • C.Lucian Pye
  • D.David Apter

Answer: B

The stages named are those of A.F.K. Organski. In The Stages of Political Development he describes four stages: political unification, industrialisation, national welfare and abundance, through which a developing society moves toward its goals of development.

Rustow is wrong because he is known for the genetic model of democratisation with its stages of national unity, struggle, decision and habituation. Lucian Pye is wrong because he is known for the development syndrome and political culture. David Apter is wrong because he is known for the modernisation model and the study of political systems of modernising societies.
