Dependency theory or dependencia theory is a body of social science theories predicated on the notion that resources flow from a "periphery" of poor and underdeveloped states to a "core" of wealthy states, enriching the latter at the expense of the former. It is a central contention of dependency theory that poor states are impoverished and rich ones enriched by the way poor states are integrated into the "world system."

The theory arose around 1970 as a reaction to modernisation theory, an earlier theory of development which held that all societies progress through similar stages of development, that today's underdeveloped areas are thus in a similar situation to that of today's developed areas at some time in the past, and that therefore the task in helping the underdeveloped areas out of poverty is to accelerate them along this supposed common path of development, by various means such as investment, technology transfers, and closer integration into the world market. Dependency theory rejected this view, arguing that underdeveloped countries are not merely primitive versions of developed countries, but have unique features and structures of their own; and, importantly, are in the situation of being the weaker members in a world market economy, whereas the developed nations were never in an analogous position; they never had to exist in relation to a bloc of more powerful and economically advanced countries than themselves. Dependency theorists argued, in opposition to free market economists and modernization theorists, that underdeveloped countries needed to reduce their connectedness with the world market so that they can pursue a path more in keeping with their own needs, less dictated by external pressures.

V soboto zgodaj zjutraj so se s sklenitvijo dogovora o pogojih za zaključek protestnega prenehanja dela končala pogajanja med sindikatom IPS, upravo Luke Koper d.d. in zastopniki podizvajalskih podjetij. Pogajanja so bila izjemno naporna, saj so se začela ob 11h v petek in se končala ob 3.30 v soboto.

V teh osmih dneh upora smo delavci poslali jasno sporočilo upravi Luke Koper d.d. in njenim lastnikom, podizvajalcem, ki so naši formalni delodajalci, ter javnosti, da smo delavci pripravljeni za enakopravnost vztrajati do konca. Pojasnili smo, kakšen je položaj delavcev, ki v Luki delajo preko podizvajalcev. Ti so prisiljeni opravljati enaka dela za manjša plačila v slabši pogojih in večji negotovosti kot delavci, zaposleni neposredno v Luki.
