This study utilizes the concept of disarticulated accumulation to explore the associations among relations of dominance in the world-economy and human welfare in less developed nations. Disarticulation is cast as the primary intervening factor between dominance and human welfare. / Multiple regression techniques are applied to cross-sectional data in order to test the effects of dominance and disarticulation on human welfare. Additional tests assess the intervening role of disarticulation in the effects of dominance on human welfare. / Both dominance and disarticulation are found to have significant negative effects on human welfare. Disarticulation is found to mediate the effects of dominance on human welfare. This analysis concludes that disarticulation is an important, but overlooked, determinant of human welfare in less developed nations. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 54-02, Section: A, page: 0701. / Major Professor: J.
