520	3		_aCatastrophe theory, a field of applied mathematics developed by Rene Thom and others in the 1970s, offers some promise as a paradigm for the study of developmental administration. The dynamic and qualitative nature of this approach can lead to various insights that some current and previous models lacked.
520	3		_aThe application of catastrophe theory to the political situation in Malaysia in the early 1960s demonstrates how such a theoretical approach can be fitted to specific political systems and situations.
520	3		_aThe author concludes by suggesting other national political settings where catastrophe theory might be fruitfully applied in the study of development and comparative administration.
