	New Imperialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term imperialism was used from the third quarter of the nineteenth century to describe various forms of political control by a greater power over less powerful territories or nationalities, although analytically the phenomena which it denotes may differ greatly from each other and from the "New" imperialism.
		A later usage developed in the early 20th century among Marxists, who saw "imperialism" as the economic and political dominance of "monopolistic finance capital" in the most advanced countries and its acquisition — and enforcement through the state — of control of the means (and hence the returns) of production in less developed regions.
		Elements of both conceptions are present in the "New imperialism" of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

	Rise of the New Imperialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British imperialists thus concluded that formal imperialism was necessary for the United Kingdom because of the relative decline of the British share of the world's export trade and the rise of German, American, and French economic competition and protectionism.
		In the colonies themselves, a section of the population came to terms with the new imperial administration and took part in its imposition or maintenance: the imperial rulers everywhere exploited divisions within the territories they sought to rule, enlisting chiefs or communities keen to overturn their pre-colonial status.
		Both traditional and emerging elites sought a place in the political framework and sent their sons to be educated in metropolitan schools and universities, though many of the professional classes came to resent the limitation of political and government opportunities, contributing to the later growth of modern colonial nationalism.

	Heroes of Rokugan
		The Imperial families continue to carry out their traditional roles in support of the Emperor, but their relative balance of authority and influence has been distorted in recent years by the vigorous reign of Miya Shikan, the Imperial Herald, and his dedicated (some might say fanatical) devotion to the cause of peace.
		Chisa is the darling of her family and of the Imperial courts, with many elegant ladies and fine courtiers competing to pamper her, no doubt in hopes of winning her father's approval.
		Miya Shikan, the Imperial Herald, Miya family daimyo: Forty-six years old, six years past the normal age of retirement, but refuses to do so on the grounds that his work is far too important to be left to his successors.

		This means we need to historicize the theory, beginning by breaking with the conventional notion that the nature of modern imperialism was once and for all determined by the kinds of economic rivalries attending the stage of industrial concentration and financialization associated with turn-of-the-century ‘monopoly capital’.
		In fact, the transition to the modern form of imperialism may be located in the British state’s articulation of its old mercantile formal empire with the informal empire it spawned in the mid-nineteenth century during the era of ‘free trade’.
		This pattern of imperial rule was established in the post-war period of reconstruction, a period that, for all of the economic dynamism of ‘the golden age’, was inherently transitional.

		In the previous chapter it was suggested that mercantilism was the engine of imperialism in the 16th and 17th centuries.
		By the end of the mercantilist era–that is, the mid 18 century–crucial parts of north, central and south America were controlled by European powers, as was the Caribbean.
		Rivalry among these western powers was played out throughout the world, though initially in the Americas and the Caribbean.

		Rivalry among the Mongol imperial heirs, natural disasters, and numerous peasant uprisings led to the collapse of the Yuan dynasty.
		Long wars with the Mongols, incursions by the Japanese into Korea, and harassment of Chinese coastal cities by the Japanese in the sixteenth century weakened Ming rule, which became, as earlier Chinese dynasties had, ripe for an alien takeover.
		Although the Manchus were not Han Chinese and were strongly resisted, especially in the south, they had assimilated a great deal of Chinese culture before conquering China Proper.

		After Wright had been in the Imperial Valley for a while, he faced a dilemma as to whether he should pursue his artistic abilities on canvas or through literary means.
		The Imperial Valley was a desolate, undeveloped desert area approximately fifty miles west of the Colorado River, south of the Salton Sea, and on the border of Baja California, Mexico.
		The real-life conflicts that were faced by the inhabitants of the Imperial Valley are aptly portrayed; and the conflicts and hardship involving the reclaiming of the arid, undeveloped region are vividly described, along with the problems or raising capital to develop King's Basin.

	Imperial Rivalry in the Americas
		The struggle of the United States for independence and post-Revolutionary development occurred in the context of a contest between the European imperial powers to achieve geopolitical, commercial, and cultural dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
		With the Restoration of the European monarchies at the Congress of Vienna (1814–1815) and the conclusion of the War of 1812, the United States became the preeminent player in the imperial rivalry for the Americas.
		Though born from the European imperial rivalry for the Americas, the United States presumptuously declared the rivalry to be at an end.

	ZNet Commentary: Analyzing Us Empire In An Era Of Transnational Capitalism. Part Four.
		On the one hand, given the US's economic and military preponderance, the imperial temptation is very strong and the events of September 11th have hastened the US's desire to attain strategic manoeuvrability for its war on terror unencumbered by the often burdensome requirements of multilateral forms of governance.
		In a sense then, in their singularity neither theorists of inter-imperial rivalry that stress the inherent geo-political rivalry between the US and other core capitalist states or Robinson's more transnationalist arguments capture in their entirety the complex sets of pressures, constraints and temptations inherent within contemporary American Empire.
		In a similar vein, radical activists that posit the continued geo-political and economic rivalry between US Empire and other advanced capitalist states are not sufficiently attentive to the largely benign and pacific imperium constructed by the US in the post-war period which has incorporated hitherto potential rivals to US hegemony.

		Strategic rivalry between the United States in Russia, both huge, sprawling nations, goes back to the 1890s when, after a century of friendship, Americans and Russians became rivals over the development of Manchuria.

		But, by the early nineteenth century, as empires were succeeded by incipient nation-states and imperial rivalries faded in North America, ethnic and social relations rigidified.
		But borderlands born of imperial rivalry and cross-cultural mixing became borders when the costs of ethnic alliances surpassed their benefits and when European empires decayed.
		Deprived of imperial rivalry, Indians of the Great Lakes struggled on in a futile effort to defend remaining homelands and to preserve the fraying ligaments of cross-cultural exchange.

	ZNet Commentary: Analyzing US Empire - Part Three
		Importantly, this re-configuration of global class relations changes the dynamics of competition between nation-states with the potential for inter-imperialist rivalry and war shifting from competing nation-states to new global oligarchies competing within a transnational environment.
		Robinson's portrait of contemporary globalisation has very clear implications for the analysis of contemporary imperialism and US Empire insofar as the analysis of the US as an Empire foregrounds the nationally bounded nature of the imperial project.
		However, and this is the crucial point, for Robinson the US state now acts as the central agent of transnational capital, rather than a nationally grounded US ruling class, with US military preponderance acting not to secure American hegemony vis-à-vis potential geopolitical rivals, but for the interests of transnational capital as a whole.

	The Atlantic Region to Confederation: A History. by Sean T. Cadigan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		There is a basic periodization: the growth of largely discrete but coexisting cultures from prehistoric times to 1720; internal regional fragmentation due to the influence of imperial militarism from 1720 to 1820; and the post-1820 consolidation of colonial society.
		John Reid suggests that imperial rivalry and war upset the balance between 1686 and 1720.
		T.W. Acheson further develops the idea that imperial free trade loosened the ties between the Atlantic region and the empire during the 1840s even as the regional economy had grown by imperially protected staple production.

		Rivalry between Imperial Japan’s Army and Navy had roots deep in the island empire’s feudal structure.
		After the Mieji Restoration of 1868, clans of different factions sent their sons to become officers in one service or the other, but did not intermix them.
		This was far more than interservice rivalry on the American model; the Army and Navy reflected a millennium of distrust and dislike.

	Boston Review:
		The dissenting view holds that superpower rivalry was only a part of the larger framework of international relations which is shaped by imperialism, a centuries old phenomenon with deep economic, institutional, and cultural roots.
		To the contrary, the removal of a countervailing power and the development of a unipolar international system may allow for a freer play of imperial interests in world politics, and a monopolistic shift of power over world security to the West.
		The international environment today resembles the imperial century which followed the end of Napoleonic war in 1815, the period of British preeminence in world politics.

		By 1900 the Korean Peninsula was the focus of an intense rivalry between the powers then seeking to carve out spheres of influence in East Asia.

	Making and Breaking Space
		In the 17th and 18th centuries, Qing emperors commissioned several maps that reflected an image of the empire that, rather than accurately depicting geographic reality, served a geomantic purpose that helped both to legitimate the emperor and to distinguish his reign from those of previous Qing emperors or other dynasties.
		In this paper, after discussing the complicated question of what constituted a map in Qing China, I use two topographical paintings that served as maps to analyze dynastic and imperial rivalry and their projections of power and continuity.
		This reveals the complex relationship between dynastic rivalry and the demands of filial piety.
