In this important intervention, renowned scholar Claudio Katz argues that, while the concept has fallen out of favour, its postulates are being proven more and more true by present-day events. In Latin America, for example, the effects of dependency are more acutely felt than in the past, making it imperative to understand the logic of the region's peripheral subordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eDependency Theory After Fifty Years\u003c\/em\u003e, Katz shows that in its original form dependency theory is incapable of providing a convincing explanation of contemporary reality; it must be updated to interpret the current modalities of dependent capitalism.
