Talk about colonialism and neocolonialism; who does it effect and how?
Colonialism was the old method that was adopted by the developed world to take over resources from the weaker nations in the world. The colonial powers took control over the area or the country where governments were weak and then ruled those places, extracting resources from them, as well as subjugating the population of that country to their foreign laws and regulations.
Neo-colonialism, on the other hand refers to the use of globalization, capitalism and international pressure to control another country's actions, as is apparent with U.S. actions today.
Neo-colonialism affects not only the weak states, but also the strong states, as can be seen through the global recession today. Capitalism is a fast spreading ideology, and as weaker nations too have adopted this strategy, stronger nations have felt the surge. This is because weaker nations are now becoming stronger, as their populations are huge and young which helps them to undercut costs in many ways and has led to the emergence of smaller regional players and stronger global players.
Colonialism was about military strength, neocolonialism is about economic strength.
