ABSTRACT
Development implies goals and the positing of goals requires values. Economists have generally agreed that the increase of wealth or perhaps welfare) is the proper object of economic development. Political scientists, probably happily, have no similar agreement in regard to the appropriate goal for political development. Moreover, it is doubtful that the various aspects of political change are located along a single continuum. This is an empirical question but investigation ought to begin at least with provision for an n-dimensional space. Finally, political scientists should concentrate on political change that has too often been neglected in favour of economic and purely social change.
