Abstract

Theories of imperialism and dependency seem to be superseded by an emerging orthodoxy of globalisation as the overarching explanatory framework for development in the current era. This article charts a critical archaeology of these older approaches to place them in their historical context. It also explores more recent contributions to a critical development theory from feminism, postmodernism and other currents. Rather than reassert superseded orthodoxies or uncritically embrace the new, this article calls for a renewal of a certain critical spirit which was present in the original dependency approach in Latin America.
