Bring out the key arguments of the dependency approach in International Relations.

The Dependency Approach in International Relations (IR) is a critical perspective that emerged as a response to traditional theories, particularly modernization theory and liberalism, which primarily focused on economic growth and development in a linear fashion, often neglecting the unequal power structures between developed and developing countries. Dependency theory centers on the idea that the global economic system is inherently exploitative and that underdevelopment in the Global South is a direct result of the historical and ongoing exploitation by the Global North. This perspective has its roots in Marxism and is heavily influenced by scholars from Latin America, such as Raúl Prebisch, André Gunder Frank, and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, who provided foundational insights into the dynamics of dependence and underdevelopment.

At its core, the Dependency Approach rejects the notion that all nations can follow the same path to development and economic growth as the industrialized nations of the West. Instead, it argues that the relationship between the developed (core) and developing (periphery) nations is structured in such a way that the latter's economic systems are shaped and often subjugated to the needs and interests of the former. Dependency theorists argue that the process of development in the Global South is not merely a matter of internal barriers to growth but is intrinsically linked to the economic and political actions of the Global North. 

### Historical Context and Emergence

The Dependency Approach emerged in the post-World War II period when many countries in the Global South, particularly in Latin America, were experiencing a surge in nationalism and independence movements. These countries were seeking to break free from colonial legacies and develop their economies. However, they encountered significant challenges as they tried to industrialize and modernize, with their economies continuing to depend on the export of raw materials to more industrialized nations. This situation led many scholars to question the assumptions of modernization theory, which posited that developing countries could follow the same linear path to development that industrialized nations had taken.

One of the early contributions to Dependency Theory came from Raúl Prebisch, who argued that the terms of trade ______ ___ _______ ________ _________ __________ __________ _____.
