[1] The table raises many issues for discussion, perhaps the most important of which is to identify those practices that actually facilitate development, that is, are transformational, as opposed to which are simply translational (yielding change within a single level). Perhaps this is more a matter of degree than of kind. In any case, the inclusion of any practice below simply places it on the slate for discussion.
