ECONOMIC EXTRAVERSION AND INEQUALITIES IN POWER, by JEAN COUSSY Particularly in the beginning, analyses of economic extraversion stressed the asymmetry of its effects ; the extraversion of a developed country is generally considered to be a source of increased wealth and power, whereas that of a peripheral country appears to be a sign and an instrument of dependence. Since 1973 a number of facts have seemed to weaken these asymmetric analyses, and two attempts have been made to adapt the economic theory. Some authors have sought to preserve the theory of dependence and have subjected it to changes which are designed to match the changes undergone in reality by the inequalities in incomes and power between nations. A great many authors, accepting as an obvious fact that even the dominant extraverted economies are vulnerable, have attempted, with very little regard for the old asymmetric theories, to say why they are vulnerable, or to construct normative models for the reduction of extraversion. This theoretical dichotomy between analyses of the dependence of certain extraverted economies and analyses of the vulnerability of all extraverted economies could no doubt be, if not eliminated, at least reduced. However, there is no way of being certain that the trend is towards the search for an integrated theory. [Revue française de science politique XXVIII (5), octobre 1978 pp. 859-898.]
EXTRAVERSION ÉCONOMIQUE ET INÉGALITÉS DE PUISSANCE, par JEAN COUSSY Les analyses de l'extraversion économique ont, surtout à l'origine, souligné l'asymétrie de ses effets : l'extraversion d'un pays développé est généralement considéré comme source d'enrichissement et de puissance alors que celle d'un pays de la périphérie apparaît comme un signe et un instrument de dépendance. Depuis 1973, certains faits ont paru infirmer ces analyses asymétriques et l'on a assisté à deux tentatives d'adaptation de la théorie économique : d'une part, certains auteurs ont tenté de conserver la théorie de la dépendance et lui ont fait subir des métamorphoses qui tentent d'épouser les métamorphoses que subissent, dans les faits, les inégalités de revenus et de pouvoirs entre les nations. D'autre part, de multiples auteurs, acceptant comme une vérité d'évidence que les économies extraverties, même dominantes, sont vulnérables, ont tenté, sans guère se préoccuper des anciennes théories asymétriques, de décrire les causes de cette vulnérabilité ou de construire des modèles normatifs de réduction de l'extraversion. Cette dichotomie théorique entre les analyses de la dépendance de certaines économies extraverties et les analyses de la vulnérabilité de toutes les économies extraverties pourrait, sans doute être, sinon supprimée, du moins réduite. Mais il n'y a aucune certitude que l'on s'achemine vers la recherche d'une théorie intégrée.
