James F. Evans Collection; Axinn, This paper presents some of the basic trends, issues, and questions regarding the last four decades of international development cooperation in agriculture. The impact of technical cooperation tends to account for only a small proportion of change; the bulk of the variance being caused by internal, rather than external, forces and events. The paper reviews both multilateral and bilateral technical cooperation and then illustrates with the case of U.S. universities in international technical cooperation. It goes on to question the difference between "development" and "merely change", and asks who are the real beneficiaries: Finally, the paper suggests the following factors affecting continuity and change as forces to be analyzed with respect to any attempt at technical cooperation: biological, physical, cultural, social, economic, administrative, political, and diplomatic. The world experience of the past four decades confirms that without consideration of such a human ecology of continuity and change, well-meaning interventions in international technical cooperation are likely to have unintended consequences for both "donors" and recipients".

AGRICOLA IND 89053984, This article describes a proposal by the authors that the distinction between interpersonal and mass media communication has had detrimental effects on the progress of communication theory and research. First, the conceptual boundaries between these two types of communication is discussed. Next, the political and historical reasons for the distinction are described. The authors provide evidence for this separation by citing studies which examine the degree to which researchers in the two areas cite each others' works in research publications. Finally, the consequences of this distinction are presented. Included in this section is a table listing the main characteristics of interpersonal, interactive, and mass media communication.
