Outlines how dependency theory exposes underlying characteristics that enable an autonomous political community to avoid the pitfalls of alienation & challenge international inequality. It is proposed that the benefits of this theory, eg, identifying how the ideology of sovereignty contrasts with the hierarchical division of labor on a global scale, outweigh the resulting paradox that a focus on sovereignty also legitimates the hierarchical order in the labor force. This theory emphasizes how the outdated ideology of the autonomy of political communities should be reconfigured to account for the postdevelopment perspective. 17 References. A. Durward
