The differences   between modernisation theory and dependency theory is that modernisation theory advances that in order for a country to develop it moves from being traditional underdeveloped country to being modern country and it states that, that can be done if these countries adopt the experiences of the most developed countries like the countries in the North, but this theory doesn't  mention inqualities in power, colonialism  and social class. The dependency theory originated after the failure of the modernisation theory. The dependency theory unlike the modernisation theory challenges the idea that underdeveloped countries fail to modernise because they lack values that the first world countries have. The dependency theory recognises worldly inequalities and the dependency theorists argue that the third world countries are poor because of being exploited by the first world countries.
