First published in 1991 this text provides an incisive analysis of theories concerning the origins of economic inequality between nations. Central to the authora (TM)s investigation is the concept of underdevelopment, and a focus on successive Western a ~systems of conceptualisationa (TM) of the relationship between the west and the rest of the world. The first part of the book concerns the Marx/Engels theory of the Asiatic mode of production, and the anti-Imperialist reaction against Eurocentrisim initiated by the theoretical synthesis of J. A. Hobson. This is followed by an examination of the post-World War II era, particularly the evolution of development studies and the differing versions of dependency theory.

The author concludes with an analysis of the most recent reactions against economic imperialism and dependency theory, and concludes with an assessment of their implications for the further economic development of todaya (TM)s Third World.

El presente trabajo expone una metaheuristica hibrida que permite encontrar buenas soluciones para un problema de horarios con restricciones especiales, el cual se modela como un Problema de Coloracion Robusta Generalizado (PCRG). El algoritmo hibrido (Algoritmo genetico y Busqueda de vecindad variable reducida) desarrollado para el Problema de Coloracion Robusta Generalizado halla mejores soluciones para algunos casos reportados en Lara 2010 2] y como el algoritmo genetico y caso reportados en Ramirez 2001 1] encuentra la solucion optima. Ademas se presentan casos de mayor tamano siguiendo la metodologia en Lara 2010 2] y sus soluciones."
