dependencia structure of global class conflict I appreciate the comments (below) by Professor Spector and have a question (or suggestion) (below) -- Alan Spector wrote 06 April 2002 "There is no question that there is "global class conflict" in the sense that capitalists from various countries are exploiting people all over the world. And there is no question that the fundamental contradiction of exploiter and exploited underlies other conflicts. The question is whether or not there are all kinds of intermediary structures and contradictions which can be the primary factors in particular situations." . . .snip> GK question (or suggestion) - Could one, perhaps, plug "dependencia theory" into the concept of "global class conflict"? That could take care of the "intermediary structures and contradictions". In other words, instead of saying that global class conflict has a dichotomous form, one could say that the form (or structure) of global class conflict is approximately described by dependencia theory. There are worker, peasant, ruling etc classes within core, semi and full-periphery countries with dependency relationships as described in dependencia theory. The difference between this and the older dependencia theory is, perhaps, mostly in the praxeological domain. Dependencia theorists recommended "delinking". If, on the other hand, the dependencia structure-process is placed inside a global class conflict, then the recipe is not delinking, but rather "build your strength" within the existing global conflict formation. What do you think? Gernot Kohler _________________________________________________________________________________ Still paying $22.95 a month for unlimited dial-up? Get 3webXS, only $9.95 a month!!!
