Dualism theories assume a split of economic and social structures of different sectors so that they differ in organization, level of development, and goal structures. Usually, the concept of economic dualism (BOEKE 1) differentiates between two sectors of economy:
the traditional subsistence sector consists of small-scale agricul
ture, handicraft and petty trade, has a high degree of labour
intensity but low capital intensity and little division of labour;
the modern sector of capital-intensive industry and plantation
agriculture produces for the world market with a capital-intensive
mode of production with a high division of labour.
Economic, technological, and regional dualism are often the consequence of a social dualism, the absence of relationships between people of different race, religion, and language, which, in many cases, is a legacy of colonialism
