Question (in pairs) You have now learned about some of the central tenets of dependency theory. Given your understanding of the theory, come up with a criBque of its central assumpBons and prescripBons. What would you say are some of the limitaBons of this theory?

Some possible critiques and limitations Possibility of surviving outside the capitalist world system is limited
RevoluBons represent a risky strategy without any clearly posiBve outcome and with possibly high human costs
Some countries actually developed in the context of the world capitalist system, e.g. Taiwan (see reading for next class)

For next class… Alice Amsden on Taiwan (only selected pages):
What was Taiwan’s development experience, as described by Alice Amsden?
According to Amsden, why does the case of Taiwan represent a challenge dependency theory?

Given interventions such as this, would you say that the reason why Nicaragua hasn’t developed is related to its “traditionalism”?
