Document Summary

Remember what i"ve mentioned in class: do your best to build an argument that integrates an aspect of the course material. For example, you could focus on a concept (neoliberalism), or on a theory (dependency) or on an historical trend or event and make an argument about how that concept, theory, trend or event relates to the book. Don"t try to cover all the material from the course - just focus on an aspect that will help you to make a strong argument. Moreover, dependency is a very deep-seated historical process, rooted in the internationalization of capitalism. Andre gunder frank, one of the earliest dependency theorists, is quite clear on this point: Historical research demonstrates that contemporary underdevelopment is in large part the historical product of past and continuing eonomic and other relations between the satellite underdeveloped and the now developed metropolitan countries.
