Major Themes
The Situation Today
The industrialized countries, which
accounted for 40 percent of the
world's population after World War
II, now account for only 20 percent,
though they earn 85 percent of the
world's income.
Development as a Concept: The
Problem
In the coming decades, the
industrialized world is expected to make
up only 12 to 15 percent of the planetary
population, as 90 to 95 percent of all
births take place in the poorest
countries.
“I [see] around the world-poverty, the
collapse of cities, porous borders,
cultural and racial strife, growing
economic disparities, weakening nationstates--We are not in control...” (Robert
Kaplan)
At Issue:
Robert D. Kaplan
Development as a Concept: The
Image
Robert Kaplan’s view:
Economic and social development is
“generally cruel, painful, violent, and
uneven…”
Development as a Concept: The
Controversy
“some nations, including the United
States, may be retreating into a
fortress like nationalism…”
- Robert Kaplan, “Ends of the Earth”
argument
Certain countries are separating and
being separated from the world
economy.
◦ Most of Africa except Egypt and South
Africa
◦ Parts of Indian sub-continent- Burma, Sri
Lanka- Central Asia
◦ Parts of the non-Oil Middle East
◦ Parts of South East Asia-Cambodia and
Laos◦ Parts of Central/South America and the
Balkans follows
The Ends of the Earth Argument
Robert Kaplan, The Ends of the Earth:
A Journey at the Dawn of the 21st
Century (New York: Random House:
1996).
Reference
Robert D. Kaplan (born in 1952)) is an American
journalist. He is currently an editor for the
Atlantic Monthly. His writings have also been
featured in the Washington Post, the New York
Times and the Wall Street Journal, among other
newspapers and publications.
He is known for his controversial essays about
the nature of U.S. power have spurred debate in
academia, the media, and the highest levels of
government.
A frequent theme in his work is the reemergence of cultural and historical tensions
temporarily suspended during the Cold War. He
has traveled to and reported on more than 80
countries.

Colonial Underdevelopment Argument
How Did We Get to this Point?
The Impact of Colonialism
Periods:
1. Age of Exploration
2. Early Colonialism- Mercantilism
3. De Jure or Formal Colonialism
4. Old vs. New Colonialism
5. Land Based Colonial Empires
6. De Facto (Neo) Colonialism
7. Authoritarianism and the End of
Empire
8. Decolonization after WWII
9. Nationalism, Independence and
Theories of Development
Overseas Colonial Structures, Values,
(1500-1960) and Post-Colonial Society
1.
Age of Expansion: 1500-1700. Extraction
and Exploration. Dominated by Spain,
Portugal and later Holland
2. Overseas colonialism (Mercantilism
Phase-1700-1856- French and British)
The creation of external trade patterns and
government expenditures directed toward the
development of an export economy
3. “De Jure” colonialism: After 1856
Legal and internationally recognized formal control
of government structures when trade, economic
and governmental sectors of a society are formally
or legally controlled by another country
Age of Exploration
Colonial Structures, Values, and PostColonial Society (1500-1950)
4. “Old Colonialism” vs. “New Colonialism” (after
1920)
a. Early colonial development focused on
infrastructure to support export and import
trade
b. Human resource development was neglected
c. ideology of Free trade that masked a reality
which developed markets for mother country
goods and provided raw materials for industrial
production
d. New Colonialism- Modernization and
Westernization (1920-1950)
The Colonial Governor (The
Prefect Model)

Named the district officer, magistrate,
landrost, district commissioner, the
commandant, the collector (Asia, Africa,
Middle East, East Europe)

By contrast, administration was
Functional in Spanish Latin America,
Philippines, and in some Neo-Colonial
systems—no prefect

Government expenditure was limited to
the military and police prior to 1920s
Early Colonial Control: The
Colonial Prefect- World Wide
5. European Empires

Do the terms colonialism and
underdevelopment work for Eastern Europe,
the CIS, Central Asia and the Caucasus?

Administrative structures were similar to
those of overseas colonialism

After 1989, These are often labeled
“Transitional States”
Land Based Colonialism
Archduke Franz Ferdinand

Janine Wedel, in Collision and
Collusion, raises two questions:
◦ Are transitional states “developmental?”
◦ Are they transitional?
What does she mean?
Land Based Colonialism
6. De Facto Colonialism

No formal legal ties but in practice
power relationships between colonial
powers and puppet regimes
◦ Thailand, Ethiopia, Persia, Nepal, the Arabian
Peninsula, and Afghanistan, much of Latin
America after the 1850s
◦ Parallel between formal colonial systems and
informal influence
◦ Neo-colonialism after 1960
