Description
There are not many recognized theoretical contributions to International Relations outside the English speaking world. Dependency theory, however, was relatively well-known in IR academia during the 1970s and 1980s. Nevertheless, it currently receives very little attention in the English speaking IR academia. The aim of this paper is to recover some of the main contributions of Fernando H. Cardoso to Dependency theory and explore whether or not they are still relevant to our current understandings of the world.
