- Development in the South is affected by structural constraints caused by effects of development in the South. 
- Power relations determine the international division of labour.
- International economy is not neutral, but the result of capitalist expansion, with North-South power differences
- Adverse international position of South in world system responsible for negative internal social structures. 
- Capitalism as a driver for underdevelopment.]]> 2021-09-16 09:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/liselottehable/98345wxiafmn3utv/wish/1745463803 liselottehable https://padlet.com/liselottehable/98345wxiafmn3utv/wish/1745475371 Dependency theory as a reaction to the modernization theory.

- Unequal exchange: core and
periphery do not both benefit from exchange (trade).
- Compradors: peripheral bourgeoisie as agents of core interests --> focus on trade instead of production and are dependent on foreign markets.]]> 2021-09-16 09:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/liselottehable/98345wxiafmn3utv/wish/1745490084 liselottehable https://padlet.com/liselottehable/98345wxiafmn3utv/wish/1745493605 - Mechanistic views: structure is everything, little appreciation for ‘agency’.
- Analytically outdated.
- Division between North/South has changed.

The country has very little natural resources and small local markets. Therefore, the country is dependent on international aid and foreign investments to manage its economy. The US emerged as one of the most important donors cum source of aid and FDI into Rwanda. Although Kagame is trying to wean the economy away from this overreliance on foreign aid, Rwanda remains an aid-dependent country. Because of Rwanda's short-term economic outlook, the country has whitnessed a rise in foreign debt. This extra expenditure on debt servicing makes it impossible for the country to  move away from foreign aid dependence. In this bilateral relationship, Rwanda is clearly not the dominant partner because it needs the US to support its economy. Therefore, Rwanda must find avenues to keep the US interested.

It is a central contention of dependency theory that poor states are impoverished and rich ones enriched by the way poor states are integrated into the "world system".]]> 2021-09-16 10:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/liselottehable/98345wxiafmn3utv/wish/1745574204
