Responding to Crisis
African states have become increasingly unable to provide adequate health care to their citizens due to debt, structural adjustment, poverty, and mismanagement. The health crisis is worsening in many areas and driving up mortality rates after decades of decline. This article investigates how African communities and their citizens respond in light of state inability to deliver health-related services. Drawing on a survey of more than five hundred …

Urbanization and Development
Half of the world's population will live in cities by the early twenty-first century, and, of the ten most populated cities, nine will be in the developing world. Unfortunately, this is occurring at a time when national governments are increasingly unable to provide basic public services to growing populations. International nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) have dramatically increased their efforts in urban areas and in economic and social d…
Policy Action and School Demand in Kenya
Debate continues over when central political actors can act independently to construct local institutions and manipulate demands placed on these organizations by the family (Weber, 1976; Thomas and Meyer, 1984; Rubinson, 1986; Tilly, 1986). The institution-building literature, from a variety of theoretical viewpoints, assumes that the state incorporates and rationalizes local collectivities in a deterministic, linear fashion (Weber, 1947; Carnoy,…

Rethinking Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to the Study of African Development
conceptual frameworks that would afford a fuller insight into the dynamic processes unfolding on the continent. Others, such as Hyden (1983, 193), argue directly that Africa needs a new paradigm, or set of paradigms to explain the continent's development processes. Although there often is a call to combine or integrate various paradigms, it seldom is accompanied by specific suggestions or guidelines about how to create a new theoretical approach …
Transnational Economic Linkages, the State, and Dependent Development in South Korea, 1966--1988
This article uses time-series analysis to examine development patterns in South Korea, a country that has realized dramatic economic growth over the last several decades. We show that (1) arguments associated with classical dependency and dependent development theory must be modified substantially when applied to Korea; (2) the Korean state has been an important actor in the country's economic success, closely regulating direct foreign investment…

New directions in international development research
Most international development research has either ignored children or relegated them to a secondary status. This is unfortunate because children represent one of the most vulnerable groups in most societies. In contrast to previous studies, this paper proposes a framework for examining children from a global perspective. It argues that children's quality of life is influenced by a variety of factors at the international, national, and local leve…
Borrowing against the Future
One of the most important sociological issues today revolves around the global debt crisis. In response to this problem, the international financial community has pressured Third World countries to implement austerity policies (“structural adjustments”) designed to facilitate debt repayment. These policies have created profound hardship in many poor countries, especially among relatively vulnerable subpopulations such as children. In this article…
State Limitations, Self-Help Secondary Schooling, and Development in Kenya
Theories of Third World education offer different views on the role and strength of the state, and several scholars argue that Third World states are too weak and “fragile” to implement development programs for education, health, and other areas. This case study of Kenya examines the national education structure and its relationship to different types of development The analysis (based on detailed district-level data) shows that government-sponso…

Agricultural Prices, The International Economy, and Development in Kenya, 1964-1988
With few exceptions, the growing literature on agricultural underdevelopment in Africa has two major deficiencies. First, many scholars are guided by either an 'internalist' or 'externalist' theoretical and policy orientation. Second, although many studies use descriptive data to support their arguments, few utilize formal quantitative techniques to test competing theories. By contrast, we apply several different theoretical perspectives to Kenya…
International Economic Dependence and Human Misery, 1938-1980
Previous quantitative cross-national studies of international inequality have skirted several basic questions raised by dependency and world-system theories. These shortcomings stem from data limitations and from difficult problems in design and conceptualization. This paper attempts to overcome some of these problems by: (1) complementing the study of economic development with analyses of cross-national variation in physical quality of life; (2)…

Intensifying Global Dependency
Dependency-oriented arguments have not focused sufficient attention on the growing international debt crisis. This omission is unfortunate because foreign debt has introduced several important dynamics into the world capitalist system. Perhaps most important, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has emerged as one of the most powerful transnational financial institutions, as it makes loans to and evaluates credit worthiness of Third World states…
City Size, Birthrates, and Development in China
This paper uses recently published aggregate data to examine the relationship among cities, birthrates, and development in the People’s Republic of China. Postrevolutionary China has long attempted to limit birthrates, arguing that population control will enhance economic development and physical quality of life. The one child policy and other population control programs have been concentrated mainly in urban areas, which have lower absolute birt…

Urbanization and Underdevelopment
The causes and effects of 3rd World urbanization have been addressed in theories of modernization urban bias and economic dependency but no single cross-national study has tested the arguments advanced by all 3 theories. This paper uses panel regression analysis to assess the validity of the 3 perspectives in 61 underdeveloped countries between 1960 and 1980. The modernization theory asserts that industrial employment attracts people to urban are…

Foreign Capital Penetration, State Intervention, and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
Despite the growing debt crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, previous quantitative research on Africa has failed to investigate the association between foreign debt and development. This failure represents a glaring omission in development research because foreign debt and other types of foreign capital penetration may have an impact on various programs that facilitate economic growth and physical quality of life. This paper argues that Africa is influ…

Reassessing Economic Dependency and Uneven Development
Over the past decade, students of development have conducted a substantial number of quantitative cross-national studies. On balance, these studies provide support for some portions of the dependency/world-system theory, showing a negative relationship between foreign capital penetration and both economic growth and equality. However, case studies indicate that the dependency perspective should not be generalized across countries. Individual coun…

The Republic of Kenya is a land of stark contrasts. Its precapitalist policies have long attracted multinational investment and international loans. External capital is apparent to Western tourists in the capital city of Nairobi, an urban area with luxurious hotels, modern corporate and government offices, expensive automobiles, large sports stadiums, and numerous stores. But the modern features of Nairobi do not represent the real Kenya, the Ken…

Urban Growth and Elitism in Kenya
It is universally acknowledged that Third World countries are experiencing rapid urbanization. Although the causes and effects of urbanization have been discussed in substantial detail, few scholars have examined public policy toward urban expansion in underdeveloped areas. Perhaps most important, Third World cities face a severe shortage of adequate employment and housing. This article discusses the urban policy followed by the Republic of Kenya…
