Management of the National Development Project and National Development since the May 16, 1961 Military Coup

This article aims to look at the national development project’s developing process and to examine the relation between national development and economic development. I focused on elucidating a few points in the study as follows; transformation of the national development project by the Democratic party’s regime in the period of military administration; change into the national development project by the national development corps; relation between the national development and economic development; management of the national development corps and its dissolution. The military authorities continued carrying out the national development project which had been launched under the Democratic party’s government and developed it with the new direction in 1962. But they failed because of many problems such as the internal conflict in the national development corps, outbreak of pleurisy, poor protection against cold, and inefficient work with primitive equipment. The most serious problem was that they developed the project without thorough research and study regarding the land. With this trial and error, the national development project was totally reviewed and the law of comprehensive national development program was established in the October of 1963. The economic development project did not originated with the military administration and the establishment of the law of comprehensive national development program was only possible with the experience from the national development project by the Democratic party’s government. The land development project in the 1960s was developed within the investment figure which was arranged in the economic development project. Therefore it is necessary to study the development project as well as the economic development project, above all, in order to illuminate the relation between the land development and economic development. A clearer understanding of the economic development and growth in the 1960s will be possible through these efforts.
