Abstract
This chapter adopts a broad outlook on historical transformations — especially transformations of discourses about development — by exploring the nexus between communication and development. The exploration takes the form of a proposed structure of historical streams of policy discourses, technoeconomic and sociocultural, and related development perspectives. The first section outlines this historic overview and synthesizes it in a diagram, which spans from the modernist and alternative tone of the 1970s to the reconsideration of sustainability in recent times; from the NWICO to the process of the WSIS in the early 2000s.
