This paper traces the beginning and evolution of the Philippine Journal of Development--from its conception as a technical journal of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), its transfer of management to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) in 1981, to its new challenges for the years ahead. First published in 1974, the Journal's objective was to serve as a vehicle for disseminating research-based papers not only on development issues affecting the Philippines and which had policy implications, but also on other aspects of development like public administration, foreign relations, political economy, business and the like.
