Dependency theory
Dependency theory is the body of theories by various intellectuals, both from the Third World and the First World, that propound a worldview that suggests the following:
- First world nations actively perpetuate a state of dependency through various policies and initiatives.
- This state of dependency is multifaceted, involving economics, media control, politics, banking and finance, education, sport and all aspects of human resource development.
- Any attempt by the dependent nations to resist the influences of dependency will result in economic sanctions and/or military invasion and control.
