This paper reviews two of the maier sociological theories of modemization, the consensus and conflict perspectives. These two theories are used to analyze some aspects of the economic and political situation in Chile. The international stratification approach is then presented as a third theory. Based upon criteria developed during the critique of the consensus and conflict theories, it is argued that the intemational stratification paradigm offers a synthesis of these two approaches which may be able to fulfill the requirements for a comprehensive sociologicaltheory of modernization.
