The mainstream development paradigm centered more on the goals of profit-maximization; mass production, result-oriented and global monetarism has now arrived at a problematic condition. The disillusionment about development characterized by strong failure of the state (elite capture) and the market (equal distribution) especially in the underdeveloped countries now crystallized alternative development paradigms which favour participatory and people-centered development – Post-development.
Alternative methodology (as in participatory), epistemology (as in view of human being and agency), and re-oriented goal (as in respect for differing values and self-reliance) are the approaches that revived this reaction against modernity wherein GDP is no longer seen to be the sole measurement of growth dovetailed by the appropriation of human development as the appropriate measurement. This is the very claim of endogenous development; a repoliticization of development manifested through local mobilization.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
- I. Background: This chapter introduces the shortcomings of the mainstream development paradigm, highlighting its failure to address the needs of underdeveloped countries. It introduces the concept of post-development as an alternative approach, emphasizing participation and local control.
- II. What is Endogenous Development?: This chapter defines endogenous development as an internally directed approach that emphasizes local knowledge, resources, and strategies. It contrasts this with exogenous development, where control and benefits are largely determined by external actors.
- III. Key Tenet of Endogenous Development: What is a Good Life?: This chapter outlines the key tenets of endogenous development, focusing on self-sufficiency, social responsibility, and the creation of a just and equitable society. It emphasizes the importance of local participation, environmental sustainability, and a holistic understanding of development.
- IV. Globalization and Endogenous Development: This chapter explores the challenges that globalization poses to local development efforts. It discusses the constraints that local communities face in achieving sustainable development within a globalized context.
