Decolonization: Modernization versus Dependency
- By the 1980s, anthropological scholarship was dominated by globalization, or the
reshaping of local conditions by powerful global systems in an ever-intensifying scale

• Broke down economic and political barriers between First, Second, and Third
Worlds



World-system theory: from the late fteenth and early sixteenth centuries, European
capitalism began to incorporate other regions and peoples into a world system whose
parts were linked economically but not politically
- Core
- Periphery
- Semi-periphery


I. Core: the nations specializing in banking, nance, and highly skilled industrial
production (powerful Western nations)

II. Periphery: those exploited former colonies that supply the core with cheap food
and raw materials

III. Semi-periphery: states that have played peripheral roles in the past but that now
have su cient industrial capacity and other resources to possibly achieve core
status in the future (Brazil, Mexico)


Cultural Processes in a Global World

- Globalization does not a ect all individuals and cultures equally. Factors that
intensify or minimize globalization’s interconnectedness:

• Location
• Temporal con ict
• Cultural interpretations
