In our post‑colonial, globalized world, can Rostow’s modernization theory—with its Western‑centric trajectory—still be meaningfully applied to contemporary contexts?
My research critiques enduring Western paradigms in development. Rostow is a prime target, yet I need a precise argument: is his theory completely inapplicable now, or are there specific contexts (e.g., certain East Asian economies) where a modified version of its logic seemingly played out? I need to engage with this nuance, not just dismiss it outright. Does the theory retain any heuristic value for analyzing early?stage industrialization, or is it irredeemably compromised by its Eurocentrism?
