There are many positions of social sciences in order to explain the chaotic situation of the world in the Post Cold War era. I select three positions. Liberalism, New Dependency Theory and the Frankfurt School. The first opposes to the latter two. Generally speaking it has been seen that critical social theory of the Frankfurt School and New Dependency Theory are each independent and separate systems. But I want to stress that from the perspective of theoretical history, inspite of their differnces, two theories were connected with each other by a mediator. His name was Paul A. Baran. Baran became a assistant of the Institute of Social Research of Frankfurt in 1930. He studied under the direction of Friedrich Pollock. Pollock was one of the most important founders of the Institute. After his immigration to the U. S. A. Baran had been a good friend with Leo Lowenthal and Herbert Marcuse. And he had been much influenced by the ideas of the Frankfurt School in his all life. In the biginning of 1950's he began to study the international relationship between advanced capitalistic countries and under-developed countries. He published "The Political Economy of Growth" in 1957. According to the evidence of A. G. Frank, it became the starting point of famous these, that is "development of underdevelopment", which is one of the most important idea of New Dependency Theory. In this context Baran must be seen as a mediator of two theories. I think that understanding the logical structure of his position as a mediator will contribute to the project to synthesize two theories and to understand contemporary society.
