Dependency theory is back

This article on the “new colonialists” is a good read. It deals with the rise of NGOs replacing state services in developing countries, and how this leads to dependency and a neo-colonialism in those countries. I like the idea of a global clearinghouse to track and monitor these many projects – though don’t know if yet another bureaucracy is needed.
