WTO. During its
development, the pattern of free trade between the developed and
developing countries depend on each countrys potential by looking at
commodities by country. This then gives a great chance to maximize the
developed markets in developing countries. In contrast, the developing
countries actively act as suppliers of food commodities and raw materials
which are not being produced by the advanced countries.
Conceptually, the goal of free trade that refers to the peace of the
world would give a different view of the meaning of peace for developing
countries. Somehow, there are issues of imperialism that led to the
deterioration of the developing and developed power. Cooperation is
considered only a side benefit of the parties; as occurs in the developed
and developing countries which are theoretically studied in the theory of
dependency. This theory is more focused
on the
problems of
developed and
developing countries. Through the perspective of
this theory, free trade between developed and developing countries
is analyzed further in order to determine the existence of peace and
truth issues in the developing world imperialism.
1.2 Problems of Study
Considering a brief explanation in the background
above, the formulations of the problem in this
paper is, “How is the analysis of free
trade in the perspective of the theory of dependency?”
2.1 Theory of Dependency
Theory of dependency is a theory that understands criticized
modernization theory, theory of dependency which has a belief that
economic cooperation ties through free trade is a way of modern
imperialism of Western countries to developing
countries or
Third World.
Theory of dependency is more focused
on the
problems of
underdevelopment and development of developing countries. In this case,
it can be said that the theory of dependency represe
nts the “voice of the periphery” to challenge the
hegemony of economic, political, and intellectual culture of the
developed world. The emergence of theory of dependency is more a
critique of current development thinking that the main problem is
dominated
by modernization
theory. This theory is looking at developing
relationships and
linkages with the central state in the West as a relationship that is not
balanced and therefore only produce a result that would be detrimental to
developing
countries Moehtar,
1990. Central state in the West tend to oppress developing countries are
always trying to keep the flow of economic surplus from the periphery
to
the central
state. Basic
