By studying the main four theories of global power – the Dependency theory, the World Systems theory, the Modernisation theory and the Kondratieff theory – an understanding of the patterns of global power can be gained, as each theory has unique views on the structure of power, with varying degrees of accuracy. The Dependency theory focusses on how developed countries use the underdeveloped countries to provide their needs and wants for a cheaper price, e.g. the US using factories in China to produce technology.
