Document Summary
Established dependency in terms of economics, social relationships, politics, and culture (i. e. nestle encouraging women in sub-saharan africa to use powdered infant formula by appealing to a notion of modernity/western practices) Two struggles- class struggle and nationalist regimes vs the dominant capitalist states. Legacies of institutions forged in the colonial and immediate post-colonial era had enduring effects- consitution, legal system, parties or national liberation movements (i. e. institutional categorization of hutus and tutsis by dutch resulted in ethnic tensions and genocide) The institutions do not lock countries into certain positions, but they do encourage them and make it easier for them to act in certain ways/move in certain directions. Examining the historical context is especially important when considering the developing world. Huntington thinks stability is the ultimate goal, represents his republican views which fears individuals and their influence on politics (interest groups etc. )
