Maoism–Third Worldism (original) (raw)

Maoism–Third Worldism (MTW) is a broad tendency which is mainly concerned with the infusion and synthesis of Marxism—particularly of the Marxist–Leninist–Maoist persuasion—with concepts of non-Marxist Third Worldism, namely dependency theory and world-systems theory. In academic discourse, Maoism–Third Worldism is sometimes synonymous with dependency theory or dependencism.
