Students of Latin American pentecostalism often have viewed it more as a symptom of emerging mass society than as a vital religious force. Studies based on development theory, especially, assume that popular movements in the Third World, such as Brazilian pentecostalism, Spiritism, and Umbanda, may promote national integration by offering marginal peoples rudimentary preparation for civic roles. Presumably the decision-making and leadership experience gained in religious participation later may be applied to community and political activities.

AbstractThis study examines the relationship between social well-being and economic development in Third World countries, thus, involving human resources, economic, social, and technological factors. An attempt is made to answer the following question: What factors contribute to the formation of social well-being and economic development? The patterns of development theory are used to help answer this question. Secondary data were collected from various sources. The sample involved 103 countries from the Third World. The study used hierarchical regression and recursive path analysis as statistical methods. Results suggest that more than 66, 64, and 67 percent of the variance in social well-being, economic development, and development index, respectively, is explained by total population, population growth rate, percent of urban population, total exports, health indicators, and energy consumption per capita. This study suggests that there is more support for patterns of development analysis of structural change. Findings in this research demonstrate that social well-being in Third World countries is responsive to changes in the structure of population policy, technique of international trade, investment in social infrastructure, and improvements in energy efficiency.

Six key weaknesses of the Warren thesis on capitalist development in the Third World are identified and examined. This critical evaluation is located in the context of the formation of development theory. In particular, the discussion of Warren's work provides a basis for marshalling arguments against the pervasiveness of economism. Arguments are presented not only against the rule of economism but also against the theoretical sovereignty of the economic (econocentrism). By way of conclusion, a few suggestions are offered for a possible reorientation of our theoretical approach to Third World development.

The Third World

Development as a paradigm and the theory of social change today is in crisis and fails to apply in various Third World countries. The failure of development in the third world actually occurs in the countries that are considered the most successful and most widely used as examples for other development countries. Namely capitalist countries model of NIC (newly industrialist countries) such as South Korea and Taiwan. Development failures also occur in countries that are modeled as new NIC countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Until now the explanation of various crises has not been completed. There is an explanation that blames the regime's corruption factor as an argument for explaining the rapid fall of capitalism in Asia. Nevertheless, a discourse before the fall of Asian capitalism occurred has begun in the wake of an attempt to repair or reform the system of capitalism. As a process of reform, the approach, ideology, and structure of discourse are not much different from the systems, structures and ideologies that are the foundation of development theory. Discourse that is known globalization.
