Post-imperialism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Post- imperialism , a structuralist concept of international relations , means: a stage or conditions after imperialism . Depending on the chosen criterion for the end of imperialism , different things are meant:

  • Relationships in or between the ex-colonies and the ex-colonial powers , if the dissolution of the colonial empires or empires is taken as a turning point. In this sense, the representatives of postcolonial cultural theory or post-imperialist development theory use this term .
  • a stage of capitalism with pacified relations between the capitalist metropolises , when the establishment of stable cooperation between the expansive industrial countries is considered the end point of imperialism. Post -imperialism would then - depending on the understanding of the details - be a generic term or a synonym for ultra-imperialism and / or super-imperialism according to the Marxist doctrine of imperialism.
