Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven digs into the Eurocentric nature of economics and the role dependency theory could play in decolonizing it.


Comment from our editors:

This short video provides a useful overview of the history and different theoretical traditions of dependency theory. Ingrid Kvangraven explains the strength of dependency theory and why it is still useful as a research programme today. It is interesting to note that dependency theory is described as a reaction by economists in the Global South to the Eurocentric perspective of economics. Dependency theory emphasises the need to understand power dynamics and history in order to understand economic development today.
