1 THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST INDIES ST. AUGUSTINE FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE Topic 7 GOVT 2060 International Relations: Theories and Approaches Fall 2017 Dependency and World System Theories Employing systemic or structural analyses, Dependency and World System Theory represent a radical departure from mainstream paradigms previously discussed. Assuming a historical perspective, these neo-marxists theorists contend that Third World underdevelopment and dependency are a result of global capitalism and exploitation of the periphery by the core. Here, we examine the main assumptions of these perspectives and evaluate their relevance to explaining the structure of the contemporary international system. 1/50

6 THEORIES OF DEVELOPMENT Modernization Theory endogenous Marxism endogenous/exogenous Dependency Theory (neomarxist) exogenous Structural Imperialism (neomarxist) exogenous World System Theory (neomarxist) exogenous endogenous = generated from within the system exogenous = coming from outside the system MODERNIZATION Model = Western Europe, 19 th century: - a linear path toward development - several stages leading to progress Modernization thesis: the West could civilize other areas if the latter adopt Western patterns of development Poorer nations: - go beyond extraction of raw materials - accept / receive massive financial and technical assistance agricultural subsistence societies modern industrial societies. 6/50
7 Proponents of modernization: Walt W. Rostow (1960) The Stages of Economic Growth: A Non-Communist Manifesto 5 stages: 1. Traditional society 2. Preconditions for take off 3. Take off = industrial revolution 4. Drive toward maturity 5. Age of high mass consumption A.F.K.* Organski (1965) Stages of Political Development 1. Primitive national unification 2. Industrialization 3. National Welfare 4. Abundance * Abramo Fimo Kenneth Walt Whitman Rostow ( ) 7/50

9 FROM Features of underdeveloped states: The low division of labour Illiteracy Traditional agrarian structure, The traditional attitude of the population The lack of communication Lack of infrastructure High populations Unstable governments Undemocratic governments The transformation TO Imitation - Worthy features of developed states: An extensive division of labor High literacy rates Urbanization High productivity Specialization Self-sustaining econ. growth Well-functioning and active state apparatus Democratic form of government Equality before the law Ideas and differing value systems (not the material conditions) explain disparities in development. Cultural changes = the most important elements in a process for creating prosperity. internal factors: cultural institutional organizational unmodernized countries 9/50
10 value system culture institutional configuration potential for development "irrational" allocation of resources in traditional society non-industrialization of poor countries UNDERDEVELOPMENT THEORISTS United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA or CEPAL): Raúl Prebisch: a new commercial and industrial bourgeoisie would emerge = supporter of national interests in the face of foreign penetration of LDCs Celso Furtado (Development and Underdevelopment, 1964): underdevelopment a necessary stage in the formation of modern capitalist economies solution to national development = autonomy opposed imperialism and foreign penetration into the domestic economy ECONOMIC STRUCTURALISTS (SYSTEMIC APPROACH) Economic structures determine politics world politics = based on how the world is organized economically 10/50
11 The world = divided between the have and the havenots: - economically developed countries (EDCs) - less developed countries (LDCs) = weak and poor facilitate exploitation of the poor countries They favour - fundamental reforms - a radical restructuring of the economic system end the uneven distribution of wealth and power Divided into two major camps: 1. Marxism 2. Dependency and World System Theory best known strand of structuralist thought origin: Karl Marx MARXISM 11/50

21 Marxism: economic order = determines political and social relationships essence of politics: - distribution of wealth - struggle between bourgeoisie and proletariat (class struggle) V. I. Lenin (1916) Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism: - capitalist bourgeois leaders duped their proletariat into supporting the exploitation of other proletariat peoples through imperialism - class struggle also included an international class struggle between bourgeois and proletariat countries and peoples THE MARXIST PERSPECTIVE: capitalism = the most dynamic mode of production in world history main sources of economic growth = valorization and accumulation: to achieve a profit capitalists exploit labour pay the workers less than the equivalent of the value of what they produce (valorization) workers, not the capitalists, generate value 21/50
22 this value is accumulated by the capitalist survive in competition with others (accumulation) Capital growth = accumulation of surplus generated by the workers (capital concentration) + merging with other companies (capital centralization) Marx (inspired by classical political economists) = emphasis on production After Marx = neoclassical political economists = emphasis on exchange Marx also explained - the totality of society - the way this totality of society emerged changed disappeared to be replaced by new forms Marxism - Key terms: factories, machines, tools and raw materials used to produce wealth = means of production means of production + human labour power = forces of production relations among: workers means of production owners of the means of production = relations of production 22/50
23 a specific combination of: forces of production relations of production = mode of production (e.g. antique, feudal, capitalist, communist) defines the type of society The Marxist base-superstructure model: driving forces behind societal changes = social classes acting within structural limits imposed by: - forces of production - prevailing production relations History = a class struggle between - those who own the means of production - those who sell their labour in order to purchase the goods they require 23/50
24 There is exploitation of the proletariat by elites + international collaboration between elites to keep Third World peoples in a perpetual state of underdevelopment 24/50
25 DEPENDENCY THEORY BACKGROUND late 1950s - developed under the guidance of Raúl Prebisch, Director of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA or CEPAL): economic growth in industrialized countries did not bring growth in poorer countries economic activity in richer countries serious economic problems in poorer countries not predicted by neoclassical theory economic growth = beneficial to all (Pareto optimal) even if benefits are not always equally shared Prebisch: poor countries export primary commodities to rich countries rich countries manufacture products out of those commodities manufactured products are sold back to poor countries declining terms of trade = terms of trade, between primary products and manufactured goods, deteriorate in time 25/50
26 Latin American Structuralists / Neo-Marxist: Raúl Prebisch, Celso Furtado, Anibal Pinto at the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA or CEPAL) + Fernando Henrique Cardoso Samir Amin + popularized by US (Neo-)Marxists André Gunder Frank Paul Baran Paul Sweezy DEFINITIONS OF DEPENDENCY: = an explanation of the = an historical condition which shapes a certain structure of economic development of a the world economy such that it favours some countries to the state in terms of the detriment of others and limits the development possibilities external influences - of the subordinate economics... a situation in which the political, economic and economy of a certain group of countries is conditioned by the cultural - on national development and expansion of another economy, to which development policies their own is subjected (Osvaldo Sunkel, 1969) (Theotonio Dos Santos, 1971) Three common features of all definitions: 26/50
27 1. international system = two sets of states: dominant/dependent, center/periphery, metropolitan/satellite dominant = advanced industrial nations in the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) dependent = states of Latin America, Asia and Africa which - have low per capita GNPs - rely heavily on the export of a single commodity 2. external forces are of singular importance to the economic activities within the dependent states external forces = - multinational corporations - international commodity markets - foreign assistance - communications - any other means by which the advanced industrialized countries represent their economic interests abroad 27/50
28 3. relations between dominant and dependent states are dynamic reinforce and intensify the unequal patterns dependency = a deep-seated historical process, rooted in the internationalization of capitalism. dependency = an ongoing process Latin America is today, and has been since the sixteenth century, part of an international system dominated by the now-developed nations... Latin underdevelopment is the outcome of a particular series of relationships to the international system (Susanne Bodenheimer, 1971) TWO SCHOOLS - The Fatalist School: underdevelopment = a permanent and inescapable condition. The only escape for underdevelopment is the escape from capitalism and the introduction of socialism (Frank 1969) - The Non-Fatalist School: accepted a possibility for some degree of development: either associated or dependent (Cardoso 1972). Associated development = carried out by actions of the local elites associated with elites from the developed world (e.g. South Korea, Taiwan). 28/50
29 Dependent development = carried out by specific state policies designed to achieve development within the context of dependency. State policies for promoting industrial growth include more inward strategies oriented towards the protection of domestic industries, known as the Import Substitution Industrialization strategy. THE STRUCTURAL CONTEXT OF DEPENDENCY: CAPITALISM OR POWER? Dependency theorists: international capitalism = the force behind dependency relationships...historical research demonstrates that contemporary underdevelopment is in large part the historical product of past and continuing economic and other relations between the satellite underdeveloped and the now developed metropolitan countries. Furthermore, these relations are an essential part of the capitalist system on a world scale as a whole (André Gunder Frank, 1972) capitalist system rigid international division of labour underdevelopment of many areas of the world 29/50
30 dependent states: supply cheap o minerals o agricultural commodities o labour serve as the repositories of o surplus capital o obsolescent technologies o manufactured goods economies of dependent states = oriented towards the outside: o money o goods o services flow into dependent states, BUT the allocation of these resources = determined by the economic interests of the dominant states international division of labour poverty capitalism int. division of labour = a necessary condition for the efficient allocation of resources Illustration = the doctrine of comparative advantage DEPENDENCY VS MARXISM dependency + Marxist theories of imperialism: common main assumption: economic and political power = heavily concentrated and centralized in the industrialized countries distinction between economic and political power = spurious 30/50
31 governments protect private economic interests ( multinational corporations) Not all dependency theorists = Marxist dependency Marxist theory of imperialism explains dependency theory underdevelopment consequences of imperialism Marxist theory of imperialism dominant state expansion reasons why imperialism occurs imperialism = part of the process by which the world is transformed = a process which accelerates the communist revolution CORE ASSUMPTIONS OF THE DEPENDENCY THEORY 1. Underdevelopment undevelopment underdevelopment = resources are undevelopment = resources are not being used actively used, but in a way which (e.g. colonial North America: land not cultivated on a benefits dominant states scale consistent with its potential) 31/50
32 poorer countries "behind" or "catching up" to the richer countries poor because they lagged behind o the scientific transformations o the Enlightenment values of the European states = poor because they were o coercively integrated into the European economic system only as producers of raw materials or to serve as repositories of cheap labour o denied the opportunity to market their resources in any way that competed with dominant states 2. Dependency theory alternative uses of resources = preferable to patterns imposed by dominant states - no clear definition of these patterns - some criteria are invoked: export agriculture high rates of malnutrition stop exporting agricultural products there exists a clear "national" economic interest it can and should be articulated for each country - similar to realism, but - this national interest can only be satisfied by addressing the needs of the poor within a society determine what is "best" for the poor = a difficult analytical 32/50
33 problem over the long run no operational definition of the national economic interest 3. Elites: Diversion of resources = maintained by - the power of dominant states - through the power of elites in the dependent states: private interests of elites coincide with the interests of dominant states elites maintain a dependent relationship elites - typically trained in dominant states - share similar values and culture with elites in dominant states a "voluntary" dependency relationship elites consciously betraying the interests of their poor = sincerely believe economic development following the liberal economic doctrine 4. Industrial goods = cheaper if imported from the developed world dilemma = how to convince the present generation from the South to abstain from buying such goods so that future generations will have a better life 33/50
34 5. In smaller countries, relatively autonomous development = virtually impossible Some countries do not have the natural resources or the market size to make this goal possible 6. Underdevelopment result of backwardness or traditionalism of developing countries = results from development in other parts of the world Northern countries developed at a time when there was no other advanced country underdeveloped countries cannot parallel them 7. import substitution cannot bring real economic development in the short-run = might help the balance of payments in the long run = increased dependency on the North - need for importation of technology, replacement parts, new machinery and foreigners to run the industries 8. Real economic development end of the influence of foreign capital and culture only times that Latin America developed technologies and industries on a large scale = the two world wars and the Great Depression The South should divorce itself from the industrialized countries 34/50
35 SUMMARY Underdevelopment is caused by exploitation of LDCs (South) by EDCs (North) LDCs produce low cost primary products EDCs produce high priced manufactured goods It is in the interest of EDCs to keep LDCs dependent by structuring the rules of international economics Rich states at the centre of the world system dominate poor states at the periphery Neo-imperialists co-opt and corrupt the local elites of the South personal wealth in return for governing their countries to benefit the North (keeping low wages for MNCs and low prices of primary products) 35/50
36 Structural Imperialism Johan Galtung - A Structural Theory of Imperialism (1971) "Structural violence" Imperialism = a structural relation of political, economic, military, cultural and communication domination Centre and periphery - between nations - inside nations Johan Galtung (b. 1930) those in power in the centre + those in power in periphery = community of interest centre of peripheral nations = transmission belt for the values of core nations For the majority of the people in peripheral states the majority of the people in centre states Effects clearly negative largely in their interest 36/50
37 37/50
38 Imperialism = a dominance relation between nations. economy: relationship motivated by the need for expanding markets via imperialistic means. 5 types of imperialism: Economic - development and modernization models of centre = must be imitated by periphery - primary goods vs. manufactured goods. Political Military democracy and liberalism only the centre has - the appropriate industrial capacity - a social structure compatible with a modern army Communication non-transfer of technologies Cultural acculturation 38/50
39 WORLD SYSTEM THEORY = a macro-sociological perspective that explains the "capitalist world economy" as a "total social system" ORIGINS Immanuel Wallerstein - 'The Rise and Future Demise of the World Capitalist System: Concepts for Comparative Analysis' (article, 1974) - The Modern World System I: Capitalist Agriculture and the Origins of the European World-Economy in the Sixteenth Century (book, 1974) Draws heavily from: Dependency Theory + Galtung's Structural Imperialism Fernand Braudel ("Longue durée", long term view) Immanuel Maurice Wallerstein (b. 1930) 39/50
40 THE MODERN WORLD SYSTEM a theoretical framework to understand the historical changes involved in the rise of the modern world makes possible - understanding the external and internal manifestations of the modernization process - analytically sound comparisons between different parts of the world The modern world system, essentially capitalist in nature, followed the crisis of the feudal system and helps explain the rise of Western Europe to world supremacy between 1450 and MEDIEVAL PRELUDE Before the 16th century Western Europe = feudalism population and commerce expanded within the feudal system expansion ceased severe economic crisis Causes: - decrease or stagnation of agricultural production burden of peasant producers increased - feudal economy had reached its optimum level and began to shrink - shift of climatological conditions led to o decreased agricultural productivity o increased epidemics The Black Death (Bubonic plague) was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and It is estimated to have killed percent of Europe's population. 40/50
41 THE NEW EUROPEAN DIVISION OF LABOUR Europe established a capitalist world economy to late 15th and early 16th centuries ensure continued economic growth (around 1500) = the world economic system emerged - expansion of the geographical size of the "world" - the first economic system to - development of different modes of labour encompass much of the world; control - links that superseded national or other - creation of relatively strong state machineries political boundaries the new world economy earlier empire systems: not a single political unit commercial monopolies + the use of force flow of economic goods from the periphery to the centre Empires: extensive bureaucracy and a standing army control within specific political boundaries techniques of modern capitalism the modern world economy extended beyond the political boundaries of any one empire Immanuel Wallerstein - Unit of Analysis (3min10) 41/50
42 CORE ASSUMPTIONS 1. Historical origin = the rise of the Western political and economic domination its acceleration due to industrial revolution (mid 1700s) periphery exploited by the core distorted development vast economic, social and political disparities between the core and the periphery current global economic inequality (Fernand Braudel - "Longue durée", long term view) 2. continuation of concerns of early social theorists: Karl Marx, Max Weber, Émile Durkheim 3. A reaction against the modernization theory 4. The system is divided into core, periphery and semi-periphery. Became stabilized in the 16th century 5. System-wide change far reaching changes in the economic model of Western-dominated capitalism (= unlikely) 6. Vicious attack on capitalism = it cannot be supported except if it is radically reformed: exploitative capitalism cooperative capitalism ( moral and practical advantages of ensuring acceptable economic and social conditions for all) 42/50
43 7. LDCs = poor exploited by the core for low cost, low profit primary products 8. Declining terms of trade Price of primary products increase at a slower rate than price of manufactured goods produced by core and imported by the periphery 9. Investment profits leak from the periphery to the core Eduardo Galeano, Las venas abiertas de América Latina (Open Veins of Latin America, 1971) FOUR CATEGORIES describing each region's relative position within the world economy: core, semi-periphery, periphery, external the capitalist world system international division of labour - relationships between different regions Within each region: - types of labour conditions - type of political system - internal political and economic characteristics 43/50
44 THE CORE Benefited the most from the capitalist world economy First core region = North=Western Europe (England, France, Holland) Developed - strong central governments, - extensive bureaucracies, - large mercenary armies. Local bourgeoisie control over international commerce extract capital surpluses from trade Rural population: aftermath of the feudal crisis switch from feudal obligations to money rents rise of independent or yeoman farmers predominance of commercially oriented independent farmers + - the rise of pastoralism - improved farm technology agricultural productivity increased - squeezed out many other peasants off the land they moved to the cities cheap labour essential for the growth in urban manufacturing 44/50
45 THE PERIPHERY - lacked strong central governments or were controlled by other states, - exported raw materials to the core, - relied on coercive labour practices The core much of the capital surplus generated by the periphery through unequal trade relations Peripheral regions: 1. Eastern Europe - especially Poland: Poland = kings lost power to the nobility ("noblemen s democracy") Poland = prime exporter of wheat to Western Europe landlords forced rural workers into a "second serfdom" on their commercial estates 2.Latin America Spanish and Portuguese conquests - destroyed indigenous authority structures - created weak bureaucracies under European control Landlords of Iberian origin = aristocratic capitalist farmers - enslavement of the native populations - importation of African slaves - coercive labour practices (encomienda, forced mine labour) export of cheap raw materials to Europe 45/50
46 Eastern Europe + Latin America: Labour systems earlier forms in medieval Europe produced goods for a capitalist world economy (not for internal consumption) relationship with the world economy - aristocracy grew wealthy - drew on the strength of a central core region to maintain control THE SEMI-PERIPHERY core regions in decline or rising peripheries buffers between core and peripheries exploited by the core, exploit peripheries historical examples: o Portugal and Spain o Italy, southern Germany, southern France tensions between central government and a strong local landed class limited and declining o access to international banking o production of high-cost high-quality manufactured goods failed to predominate in international trade did not benefit to the same extent as the core 46/50
47 weak capitalist rural economy landlords resort to sharecropping: o reduce the risk of crop failure for landowners o enjoy profits from the land and landownership prestige EXTERNAL AREAS = maintained their own economic systems and remained outside the modern world economy Example - Early Russia: wheat internal market traded with Asia and Europe; internal commerce = more important than foreign trade the considerable power of the Russian state: o helped regulate the economy o limited foreign commercial influence 47/50
48 48/50
49 SUMMARY System-wide change far reaching changes in the economic model of Westerndominated capitalism (= unlikely) Vicious attack on capitalism = it cannot be supported except if it is radically reformed: exploitative capitalism cooperative capitalism ( moral and practical advantages of ensuring acceptable economic and social conditions for all) LDCs = poor exploited by the core for low cost, low profit primary products Declining terms of trade Price of primary products increase at a slower rate than price of manufactured goods produced by core and imported by the periphery Investment profits leak from the periphery to the core Strengths Offers a developing perspective of the world. Captures the reality of uneven world development. Takes a global (systemic) viewpoint, rooted in history. Explains inequality and exploitation of the Third World. Dependency and World-System Theory Weaknesses Overemphasis on economic relations. Politico-strategic actors are not addressed. State is autonomous and not a passive agent of the capitalist class. It can increase its power by maintaining mass popularity. Too much focus on external factors. Ignores internal factors. 49/50
