Dependent Development: the case of Central Eastern Europe

Central Eastern Europe has been integrated into the European economy in a subordinate way. The dependency approach provides a framework for analyzing development patterns in the context of asymmetrical international relations. Since the original framework was developed in the 1960s and 1970s against the Latin background, an updated and modified conceptualization which is adapted to the present European, and especially Central East European context, will be proposed.

Joachim Becker is a Professor and Deputy Head of the Institute of International Economics and Development, WU Vienna University of Economics and Business. Among other areas, his research forces on the dependent economic development, integration and disintegration processes, and the rise of nationalist right in Central and Eastern Europe. He is also an Editor of the social science journal Kurswechsel  and regular commentator for Slovak daily Pravda.
