Exploring the Temporal Logic Model: A Colombian case study evaluating internally displaced people assistance
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores the validity of a contextual approach to development research, the Temporal Logic Model. It does so, through the presentation of a case study evaluation of internally displaced people assistance in Colombia. The analysis concentrates on the relationships existing among the political and technical dimensions of traditional closesystem development research methods, such as the Logical Framework, as opposed to open-system tools such as the Temporal Logic Model. The discussion of their epistemological roots leads to analyse an important and so far missed link of how those political and technical dimension may produce antithetical approaches to development research and practice.
