The subject of development is shrouded in an endless number of concepts, interpretations, adjectivizing, ambiguities and vagueness. It's not new, if thought of as "a vision, description or measure of the state to be a desirable society", via a process of transformation in successive steps and through institutions regarded as perfect from a bureaucratic point of view. However, it is new, if thought of as an ideal of social achievement, with fewer asymmetries and greater social and human equality, in which different perspectives and adjectivizing are considered, being associated with terms such as human, social, eco- and sustainable. The text presents a brief overview of what has been addressed throughout the accession of the theme of development, and is essentially divided into two sections: the first section presents some historical and conceptual considerations on the subject, ranging from the perception of development as progress, to the need to adjectivize it. The second section introduces some issues tied to the larger umbrella of the theme of development, with the broader intention to demonstrate that there are a considerably large number of relevant themes and which bear within them a diversity of positions held by the various players involved in reflecting on the different strategies and possibilities for development.
