Abstract: The Kadro movement-cum-journal (January 1932–January 1935) was formed by a few Turkish economists and intellectuals sensitive to Balkan affairs and with post-war revolutionary experiences in Moscow, Berlin, and Munich. The Kadro was first and foremost developmentalist, given the circumstances of an undeveloped country situated in an unstable region caught in the repercussions of the collapsing world market. It was an innovative cluster open to team work to put forward an international political economic perspective for advancing economic thought and policy during the Great Depression. It is thus among the precursors of Latin American dependency theory.
