Abstract
This study examines socio-economic development as a comprehensive civilizational process in Malek Bennabi’s thought, emphasizing the interdependence of economic, social, cultural, and political dimensions. Bennabi’s framework moves beyond material growth, stressing structural transformations in values, institutions, and human capital as the core of sustainable progress. Central to his vision is the triad of "Man, Time, and Soil," where human development, historical consciousness, and natural resources converge to drive endogenous advancement. The study critically analyzes Bennabi’s critique of imported development models, advocating instead for self-reliant strategies rooted in local civilizational values. It highlights the necessity of equitable resource distribution, participatory governance, and moral-intellectual renewal as prerequisites for authentic development. Drawing lessons from East Asian economies, the research underscores adaptive reform and self-sufficiency over dependency on foreign aid or external blueprints. The study explores democratization as a catalyst for inclusive development, emphasizing constitutional legitimacy, civil society engagement, and institutional accountability tailored to societal contexts. Bennabi warns against superficial democratization, arguing that genuine political transformation requires intrinsic societal change rather than borrowed legal frameworks. The research presents Bennabi’s vision as an alternative developmental paradigm—one that harmonizes material progress with civilizational identity, collective agency, and ethical foundations. Development, in this view, is an organic, value-driven process rather than a foreign imposition
