● Scholarly articles on dependency theory and world-systems theory
Detailed Explanation
Scholarly articles provide in-depth analyses and discussions on theories explaining economic development disparities, such as dependency theory and world-systems theory. Dependency theory critiques the relationships between developed and developing countries, while world-systems theory categorizes nations into core, semi-periphery, and periphery to explain economic dynamics. These articles are essential for understanding academic perspectives on development.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine scholarly articles like expert panels at a conference sharing their research findings. Each expert presents their viewpoint on why some countries thrive economically while others do not, giving the audience—students and researchers—critical insights and varying opinions to broaden their understanding of global development.
