ORGANIZING FOR DEPENDENCY

Then please write a blog post: give at least two examples (one from "Instituting the Development Project" and one from the video) that show countries from the global North reorganizing societies in the global South to benefit the Northern economies. Then explain which of these could be used as an illustration of the dependency theory and why.

A country in the video that described a country in the south that was reorganized in order to benefit the northern societies was Congo and Angoloa; they described it as a resource war. Another dependent country was Brazil, they describes this country relationship with the north as primitive accumulation and the scholars in the video also state that the resources of the south are fundamental to the development of the north, which leads to exploitation. An example of social reorganization from the article was Dacca it was known as Manchester of India its population had fallen from 150,000 to 30,000 due too industrialized agriculture monocultures. Dependency Theory is a set of perspectives that had argued that all societies would eventually industrialize and develop economically to the level of the First World nations and that foreign investment and aid to the Third World would be necessary to bring this about. These are example of the dependency theory because in these countries you have organizations that finance things such as the resource war and also huge agricultural projects in other countries. The dependency theory also explained that the north historically exploits the third world for there resources and this is seen within these examples as well.
