TL;DR: The authors present a survey of Neo-orthodoxies, including restatements, which is more of a guide through chaos than a history of received doctrine or a systematic critique of a few rival positions.
Abstract: Since 1945 the geographical extent and temporal stubbornness of The Great Inflation 2 have shaken many economists’ faith in the orthodoxies of preceding generations. Neo-orthodoxies, including restatements, are only dimly in evidence. Our survey is accordingly more of a guide through chaos than a history of received doctrine or a systematic critique of a few rival positions.

TL;DR: The evolution of the development doctrine over the last six decades is analysed in some detail and the main contributions and changes are traced through, decade by decade, starting with the 1950s.
Abstract: The evolution of the development doctrine over the last six decades is analysed in some detail in this paper. The development doctrine is defined as the body of knowledge consisting of four interrelated components: (1) the prevailing development objectives; (2) the conceptual state of the art relating to development theories, models, techniques and applications; (3) the underlying data system; and (4) the resulting development strategy. The main contributions and changes in these four components are traced through, decade by decade, starting with the 1950s.

TL;DR: In this article, the United Nations and its half century of enactments are embodied in international human rights law, and the philosophy of human rights doctrine is embodied in the international human right law.
Abstract: Today, through the United Nations and its half century of enactments, an impressive body of human rights doctrine is embodied in international law This is in sharp contrast to the situation fifty years ago when there was no body of international human rights law Having come this far legally, why then should one still be concerned with the philosophic foundations of such international human rights law? To philosophize, Plato taught, is to come to know oneself Others say that the special function of philosophy is to deepen our understanding of truth Still others see the philosopher as a judge, assessing the varieties of human experience and pronouncing on the claim to knowledge1 Yet, still more reasons exist for exploring the philosophic underpinnings of human rights law First, one's own attitudes toward the subject of international human rights law are likely to remain obscure unless one understands the philosophies that shape them2 Piaget's statement that "morality is the logic of action" contains a striking insight
