Dependency theory emerged directly from the Cuban Revolution’s politics.

Evidence

Versions of the “dependency” school have been harnessed, under different conditions, to the promotion of anti-imperialist, national-capitalist development of a radical type. The metropolitan/satellite theories of Gunder Frank and others were specifically developed in the context of the Cuban Revolution and the strategies of Latin American revolution elaborated, for example, in the resolutions to the 1962 Second Declaration of Havana. The whole field, indeed, provides an excellent case study of the necessary interconnections between theory, politics, and ideology in social science. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 584
