Talk:Development theory

Untitled
I broke the redirect from Development Theory to Modernization Theory on the grounds that within the field of development, Modernization theory is (a) far from the only theory of development, and (b) also a dated theory no longer advocated by development academics and development institutions. --Paperflowergirl 20:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Dependency Theory
In this section there is a part that says, "Dependency theory states that poor nations provide natural resources and cheap labor for developed nations, without which the developed nations could not have the standard of living which they enjoy." Since it uses "states" is there a reference to it or where exactly is this idea from?

There was another section that mainly has to do with word choice/grammar "Primitive states have unique features, structures and institutions of their own and are the weaker with regard to the world market economy, while the developed nations have never been in this follower position in the past."

"Primitive" tends to have a negative connotation so I would suggest sticking with underdeveloped, undeveloped, or periphery states. And the "the weaker" part sounds a bit off, be bit more clear; they are the weaker what exactly? The word "follower" does not sit well in the sentence either maybe "have never been colonized" could be used instead.

Other than that good amount of info!
