GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / African economy
English term or phrase: one-development-size-fits-all
I have an issue with 2 terms in this sentence which I am not sure about, one is "one-development-size-fits-all" and the other one is "intelligent thinkers". I have translated the first one as "la teoría de que un tipo de desarrollo vale para todos" and the second simply as "pensadores".

Original text reads: "In short, the theory of one-development-size-fits-all applied largely and almost exclusively to Africa, has been shown up to be absurd and abandoned by most intelligent thinkers on the continent"

Translation: "En resumen, se ha demostrado que la teoría de que un tipo de desarrollo vale para todos aplicada en gran manera y casi de forma exclusiva a África es absurda y la mayoría de los pensadores del continente la han abandonado"

Thank you

un modelo de desarrollo igual para todos


Explanation:
Traduciría 'intelligent thinkers' como intelectuales.

En resumen, la teoría de un modelo de desarrollo igual para todos, aplicada principalmente y casi exclusivamente a África, ha resultado ser absurda y ha sido abandonada por la mayoría de los intelectuales del continente.

desarrollo "de talla única"


Explanation:
Me parece, especialmente por el uso de guiones, que se puede emplear perfectamente la metáfora de la talla única para referirse a esta doctrina, y así se ve en algunas referencias que he encontrado después.
