Development as institutional change: The pitfalls of monocropping and the potentials of deliberation (2004, background): “Their theoretical predictions are consistent with the ugly fact that the North-South divide has persisted despite half a century of "development" and substantial industrialization in the South (Arrighi, Silver, and Brewer 2003).”

Beyond the Stereotype: Restating the Relevance of the Dependency Research Programme (2020, background): “…international division of labour has emerged, characterized by the restructuring of global production networks, which has allowed many developing economies to move into manufacturing through participation in far-flung global value chains (Arrighi et al., 2003; ILO, 2015; Milberg and Winkler, 2013).”
