“…The WatCT (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974 marked an important milestone in environmental legislation in India as the first national law for pollution control, but it required 12 years of political negotiations for the law to be enacted. Jurisdictional battles between the central and state govemments were a major reason for delays in enacting the law (Dwivedi & Kishore, 1982), and these conflicts resulted fiom the federal stmcture of Indian govemmenL Article 246 ofthe Constitution of India specifies in three lists the subject matter of laws that can be made by the Parliament and the state legislatures: the Union List for Parliament, the State List for state legislatures, and the Concurrent List for joint jurisdiction.'

This article reviews the significant changes India has achieved in environmental policy in the past 10 years, especially in terms of regulatory procedtires and organizational structure. Despite these changes, however, environmental quality has continued to deteriorate, largely because a wide gap persists between the intera (^policy and the actual achievement and because major problems have eluded seriotts attention. The paper analyzes major probletns in the implementation of Indian environmental policy, with particular atteraion to policy design, policy analysis, and standard setting. Political problems are identified that underlie difficulties in policy formulation and implemetation, and strategies to improve implemetation are proposed.

This is an evaluation of a management development project designed to improve the technical and analytical skills of public health administrators in Jordan. The study suggests that action research and learning methods can be used to improve the knowledge and performance of senior managers. The methods also proved useful in uncovering administrative, structural, and interpersonal factors that had the potential to limit the capacity‐building process. In the design of third world management development programs, careful attention should be given to organizational, environmental, and technical factors that influence how well the methods meet the developmental needs of the participants. Although this research did not uncover any cultural conditions limiting the use of an action‐based training and development approach, the participants in this sample were not broadly representative of the population.

This paper explores the linkages between development, “appropriate” administrative technology and the training of development managers. In so doing, it traces the intimate relationships between development administration, conceptual paradigms and administrative know‐how as a scientific and technological system. Orthodoxy, neo‐orthodoxy and critical paradigms are discussed and a number of elements to reformulate a development administration paradigm are considered. Based upon this discussion the paper concludes with a tentative outline identifying training needs for development managers and a number of observations about such training: its “appropriatness”, professionalisation and the issue of international cooperation.
