Which theory argues that the political and economic relationships between countries and regions of the world control and limit the economic development possibilities of poorer areas? Central Place Theory
Dependency Theory
Liberal Development Theory
Rostow's Theory
Wallerstein's World Systems Theory

The correct answer is B) Dependency Theory.

The theory that argues that the political and economic relationships between countries and regions of the world control and limit the economic development possibilities of poorer areas is the Dependency Theory.

Among the many injustices lived in these moments regarding the vast difference between the richest countries in the world and the poorest countries of the world, the Theory of Dependence is an example of the inequality that exists on planet earth.

This theory states that there are underdeveloped countries that are exploited by developed and rich nations. How they do that? By exploiting the many raw materials and natural resources of that poor country.

This is the issue, that the poor country has plenty of resources but never has had the money to invest in infrastructure to have an industry that transforms those raw materials into goods.

Enter the rich nations.

They do not have raw materials either natural resources but have plenty of money to have industries that transform those raw materials into goods ready to sell to the final consumer.

So the wealthy nations get richer at the poor countries' expense.
