Abstract: Dependency theories have been an important contribution of Latin American social sciences. Its most recognised offshoot is the world-system theories. Less well known, but equally important, is the dialogue established between dependency theories and African economic thought in the 1960s and 1970s. Our work aims to analyse the influence of dependency theories on the formulations of the Instituto Africano para o Desenvolvimento Econômico e Planejamento (IDEP), particularly during the period when it was under the direction of the Egyptian economist Samir Amin. Our main sources are official IDEP documents and Amin’s memoirs.
