Abstract: Abstract ‘Dependency,’ or ‘Dependencia’ in the Latin American literature, is a many-splendored thing. It has had a variety of interpretations and has been the subject of a vast literature over the last two decades. Rather than attempting to provide a review of these — often conflicting — writings, this essay sets out to analyze the key propositions of the dependency school that are common to most, if not all, of those under its banner.
