Question

In recent times, scholars have been trying to sort out why the countries on the continent of africa, as a whole, have trouble competing to today's global, capitalist economy. while an answer to this question is complex and carries with it many ambiguities, most scholars point to european colonialism as a key to understanding the current state of africa. a sociologist studying this topic, would ascribe to which theoretical paradigm

Answer 1

I believe the answer is Conflict Theory
Conflict theory is based on the view that all members of the society will have to constantly live in a state of conflict due to the competition to obtain limited resources.
This theory became the foundation of a Communistic economic system where the government took control of all the resources.
