Скачать или смотреть Neo-Radical Approaches in IR: Theory of Underdevelopment

The Theory of Underdevelopment is one of the most important neo-radical approaches in International Relations, closely associated with Dependency Theory and the Centre–Periphery model. This video explains how underdevelopment is not a natural stage of development but a historically produced condition linked to global capitalism.

After the Second World War, it became clear that capital did not diffuse from developed countries to the developing world as predicted by Western modernization theories. In response, neo-radical scholars argued that development and underdevelopment are two sides of the same capitalist process.

In this lecture-style video, we cover:

Meaning and origin of the Theory of Underdevelopment

Why traditional development theories failed in the Third World

Role of Marxist debates and Latin American experiences

Contributions of Paul Baran and his Political Economy of Growth

Emergence of Dependency Theory

Concept of Centre and Periphery

How capitalist penetration produces structural inequality

Relevance of the theory for Third World countries today
