The following are how dependency theory is relevant to the present society;
INTRODUCTION
Dependency
is the conditioning situation in which the economies of one group of countries
are conditioned by development expansion of others. Dependency is a result of
capitalism and internalization of the conflicts in the developing countries.
Theory is a statement
or group of statements established by reasoned or logical argument based on
known facts intended to explain a particular event.
Dependency
Theory is the notion that resources flow from a ‘periphery’
of poor and underdeveloped states to a core of wealthy state, enriching the
latter at the expense of the former. 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. The theory arose as a reaction to modernization theory, an earlier
theory of development which held that all societies progress through similar stages of development, that today’s
underdeveloped areas are thus in a similar situation to that of today’s developed
areas at some time in the past.
The
following are how dependency theory is relevant to the present society;
Economic system with
dependency on foreign trade and foreign investment, Less developing countries
depend much on foreign trade which cause the price of raw materials which are
coming from less developing nations to be low compared to the goods which we
get from developed nations also in
investment especially in Tanzania there is many foreigners who era investing in
ourselves to make investment in different sectors of our country thus why every
day we much depend on foreign trade and investment because of low science and
technology.
Backwardness of many
countries especially LDCs in science and technology, Less developed countries
example Tanzania depends much on technology from developed nation because Tanzanian
we don’t have our own technology example in construction of infrastructure such
as road, railways and bridges we need help from other countries (developed
nation) example in road and railways we use Chinese (people from China who
import their technology hence dependency increase).
Many less developing
countries faced the problem of unemployment (LDCs), Also many people in less
developing countries like Tanzania faced with the problem of employment because
the quality of labour force are poor. The low levels of literacy, malnutrition,
absence of proper medical care these are barriers to economic development. So
due to this Tanzania takes effective measures foristance investment in human
capital to break the poverty barrier hence dependent is being as an endless
because we invest also in human capital.
The cheap resources
with the back rates that used to feed the back rates that used to feed the
capitalist industries come from the less developing countries (LDCs); First
world countries have many industries which need raw materials to feed their
industries so due to this the third
world countries up to now days used to give raw materials such as crops
especially cash crops, mineral etc. so due to this dependency is there among third world nations
and first world nations and first world nations.
Many less developed
nations (LDCs) are poor, causes of poverty is changing trend in a countries
economy. Associated with the lack of education, high divorce rate, a culture of
poverty, illiteracy, overpopulation, epidemic diseases such as AIDS and malaria
due to these many less developed nations who are faced such kind of problems need
help from developed nation example in Tanzania we depend much on USA, USA
provide as medical for AIDS and many others protection for malaria examples
mosquito nets so we much depend on developed nations.
An increasing of
imported technology and finance, now days there in our country there is much
importation of goods and technology than exports. The whole process of
importation makes or increase high dependent to the other countries political
and economic power, especially our Tanzania we much depends on good and financial from outside we don’t have our
own technology which can support us to live without being depends on other
developed nation, due to this our country increase debt crisis every day
Third world countries are poor while
(developed) countries a rich because Third World have less education, less
wealth, poorer health, less military power, and they dominated politically and
economically by the first world. Third World Economies were mono productive and agriculturally based,
while economies in developed countries were diversified and industrialized by
almost any conventional socio economic measure, Third World Countries are at
the bottom of the scale.
