Abstract

[Extract] Theories of dependency challenged the dominance of modernization strategies in the mid- to late twentieth century. Modernization strategies mapped pathways to modernity for Third World states based on the use of external agents for change. Dependency analysts declared such agents exploitative. Without autonomous economic growth, Third World societies could expect no change in their economic fortunes. The result, so dependency theorists argued, could never be modernization or development, only underdevelopment
