Document Summary
Early analysts - tended to view underdevelopment as a primary condition - initial stage which all countries must pass on their journeys toward modernization. Poorer countries lacked industrial technology, investment capital, high levels of education, entrepreneurial ethics. Neocolonial economic dependency, rapid population growth, militaries supplied by vast international arms market, governments striving to provide investment climates to multinational corporations - not innate condition that will be outgrown. Third world - more of a relationship with the rst world. India became underdeveloped in relation to its british colonizers; peru became underdeveloped after conquest by spanish; bushmen became underdeveloped when forcibly integrated into national economy of south africa. Far from original condition - third world evolved out of military, political, and economic expansion of western europe in 15th century. Emergence of uni ed nation-states in western europe would come to have profound impact on entire world. Late 15th century - europe remained divided into feudal kingdoms/city-states - united as countries under monarchs.
