Summary:A discussion of the emerging dependent capitalist development in Latin America, & its subsequent implications for political change. From an examination of early theories of development & social change (modernization theory -- change modeled after the evolution of European capitalism; & dependency theory -- economic domination by hegemonic powers) & dependent development, a state capable of formulating autonomous policies, three problems highlighting the structures of domination & the movements of liberation are assessed: (1) the dynamics of dependent development, the role of foreign & domestic capital, & the line-up of SC forces; (2) the state's role in development, particularly the bureaucratic-authoritarian state; & (3) how dependent development structures the options & potentials for political opposition. Brazil is examined as a case study of dependent development. 29 References. W. Adams
