Abstract
The last decade has seen a growing interest in alternative research paradigms in social science research. Much of the impetus for the search for alternatives has come from the experiences of professionally-trained researchers who found their paradigms inadequate to provide answers to all the questions they had. Another push towards the search has emerged from the continuing failures of development efforts in the Third World. As accepted and prevalent models for development, growth and change begin to show cracks, policy-makers and administrators are yelling for 'something' that may work, thereby restoring confidence in their positions of authority and in themselves.
