Abstract (type = abstract)
Sustainable development has been a national endeavor of many countries for decades if not centuries. Despite the importance of this goal, only a few countries have achieved sustainable development. However, scholars and policymakers disagree about how sustainable development occurs and about the roadmap required to achieve it.
To address these problems, I built an empirical-based model for attaining development capacity for sustainable prosperity. My central research question is: How can underdeveloped and emerging countries build their development capacity to reach sustainable prosperity? I conducted multimethods research, including a review of the development administration and state-led development literature and conducted 24 semistructured interviews with academics and experts from international organizations. The study also explored how postconflict circumstances shape development.
From this research, I built a new logic model of sustainable prosperity. The model illustrates how policymakers can integrate various reforms in short-term, medium-term, and long-term to attain a comprehensive transformation. The study provides a roadmap to sustainable prosperity given various economic, administrative, political, social, and environmental reforms.
