! Inequality and disparity
! Dependence
! Hostility
! Conflict
! Violence
What about today? ! Neocolonialism is considered to be the new form of dominance in the
post-colonial period
! Wealthy, developed nations use economic, trade and cultural policies to dominate and influence countries in the “developing world” to their advantage
! Can be, but is not always, more subtle than historical colonialism
