Abstract
Despite a reorientation away from a general strategy of modemisation towards a model of satisfying basic needs, West German govemment development policy has suffered a series of negative results. The reason for this should be sought particularly in the neglect of the cultural aspect of development. In response to the public pressure exerted by the discipline, the West German government is currently attempting to accommodate the demand for greater consideration of sociocultural factors by seeking to reduce cultural complexity to a few dominant factors that are to be incorporated into project work. This approach is doomed to failure by a lack of any alteration in the tools of development policy themselves. The demands to which these tools must be capable of doing justice if sufficient consideration is to be accorded the cultural factor are described in this report. In the course of this description, the collaborative possibilities open to West German ethnology are investigated in the light of its attitude to date towards the notion of itself as an applied science.
