Abstract

The development of theoretical sociology reflects an ongoing effort to
understand the dynamics of social change, structure, and human interaction across different historical periods. This article examines how sociology as a theoretical discipline has evolved, focusing particularly on the emergence of the sociology of development as a distinct field of study. The discussion traces key intellectual traditions, from classical theorists who laid the foundations for understanding society, to contemporary approaches that analyze modernization, globalization, and social transformation. Special attention is given to how development sociology interprets processes such as economic growth, social inequality, cultural change, and institutional reform
