Indegenization and Reproduction of Capitalism Knowledge in the Third World

Social sciences in the third world have been occupied by modernization theories since the 20th century. These theories have been claimed universal in nature. Since then, the social scientists have concentrated on producing new products and technologies that have been spread out through text books. The results of various research were assumed to be able to help to free underdeveloped countries, which in the modernization discourse has been called the third world countries. An adequate approach is needed to understand the history of Western social sciences that have been very close to the social sciences tradition since the 19th century, as the antinomy between mothetic-ideographic and universality-particularism concepts. The object of social science analitic, space and time variables have become critical debate, as the dilema in the non-Western countries, between the universality and particular, and nomothetic versus ideographic. Critical social theory has deconstructed the law of capitalism, patriarchy, racism, and the domination upon nature. This theory views positivism has frozen the social facts so that it dominates the others. Critical theoreticians think that positivism is no longer a knowlegde but an ideology. Hegemony through the structure of capitalism has influenced the theoretic-methodologic, so that social system has experience the limited movement due to the domination of positivism as a capitalism theoretical product.

The validity and universality of the theory of capitalism that exists in The Third World should be questioned. Scholar tradition in the Third World is built on scientific hegemony is not an ahistorical process, because those are historical variables, and the inherent present context in the Third World also need to be considered in compiling grounded knowledge framework. Since the 20th century, the Social Sciences in the Third World have been dominated by modernization theory which is claimed to be universal. Next it is also the concentration of social scientists' studies, especially in producing new knowledge, new technologies that disseminated through tekxbooks, research results helping the state can help underdeveloped a beginning which is generally located in the Southern Hemisphere which is in the discourse of early modernization of the Third World. An adequate approach to understanding the history of Western social science which has been firmly embedded in the social science tradition since the 19th century is the antinomy between the ideographic-nomothetic concept, and universality - particularism. Whatever the object of social science analysis, space and time variables in the history of capitalism in non-western countries are in a dilemma between universality and particularity, and nomothetic versus ideographic, which continues to be innovative today. 

Social sciences do not escape from hegemonization through the structure of capitalism, so that at the theoretical-methodological level, social sciences experience limited movement (co-opted) by the domination of positivism as a theoretical product of the system/structure of capitalism. Positivism which emphasizes quantitative aspects, empirical, and causal law have dominated the methodology of the social sciences, thus marginalizing the more qualitative, normative, and interpretative methodologies of antipositivism. Social sciences, must be more critical of current developments. The development of the social sciences is currently. In a postcolonial and globalization contexts, so many theories that explain underdevelopment or failure in development has been shows that basically modernization, capitalism not an ideology that can be applied naturally but conditioned according to the conditions of the state.
