In the Context Global Economic Instability and Endless Wars, Dependency Theory is Making a Comeback

Dependency theory which emerged from the struggles for change in Latin America in the 1960s, is now making a comeback. The rise of the left-leaning governments in Latin America known as the Pink Tide (Chávez, Evo Morales, Lula, López Obrador, etc.) provided fertile ground for antisystem theoretical ideas such as dependency theory. In addition, at the global level, seemingly endless wars, economic instability, and growing inequality also explain the receptivity to thinking along these lines. This is what I argue in the following article published this year in Latin American Research Review.
