	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.
		Britain's entry into the new imperial age is often dated to 1875, when the government of Benjamin Disraeli bought the indebted Egyptian ruler Ismail's shareholding in the Suez Canal to secure control of this strategic waterway, since its opening six years earlier as a channel for shipping between Britain and India.
		It may be debated whether the New Imperialism itself contributed in large measure to the subsequent global conflict, except to the extent that it broadened the geographical area of military operations.

	Beyond Imperialism: The New Internationalism
		Likewise significant, in contemporary discussions the ‘imperialism’ that is most relevant is the ‘new imperialism’ that emerged in the last decades of the nineteenth century and persisted only through the first decades of the twentieth.
		The age of the new imperialism coincided with the quickening tempo of technological change and of international economic interchanges; more and more quantities of goods and capital crossed borders, and distances between people of different countries narrowed dramatically, thanks to the development of the telegraph, the telephone, the steamship, the automobile, and many other devices.
		Imperialism would have ceased to function if such blurring continued–-and that was why, even while colonizer and colonized were intermingling at one level, at another a system of rigid social and cultural distinction was maintained.

	The New Imperialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the backward colonial peoples, argued Lenin, capitalism had found a new proletariat to exploit; and from the enhanced profits of such imperialism it was able to bribe at least the "aristocracy of labor" at home into renouncing its revolutionary fervor and collaborating with the bourgeoisie.
		Nor, of course, could it be a general explanation of imperialism, which had existed centuries before there was a "glut of capital" and before finance capital was as plentiful or as well organized as it was in the later nineteenth century.
		The beneficiaries of imperialism were not always the initiators of it; and although King Leopold, Cecil Rhodes, and many of the other empire builders amassed great personal fortunes and powers, so too did many who merely stepped in later to reap the rewards of high administrative offices and rich concessions for trading and investment.

	The New Age of Imperialism- Empire? - Global Policy Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The imperialism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was distinguished mainly by two features: (1) the breakdown in British hegemony, and (2) the growth of monopoly capitalism, or a capitalism dominated by large firms, resulting from the concentration and centralization of production.
		Imperialism, however, continued to evolve beyond this classic phase, which ended with the Second World War and subsequent decolonization movement, and in the 1950s and 1960s a later phase presented its own historically specific characteristics.
		This new age of U.S. imperialism will generate its own contradictions, amongst them attempts by other major powers to assert their influence, resorting to similar belligerent means, and all sorts of strategies by weaker states and non-state actors to engage in “asymmetric” forms of warfare.

	Washington’s new imperialism
		Meanwhile, the old colonial empires were slowly dismantled, partly as a result of struggles for national liberation, and partly because the colonies declined in economic importance for the advanced capitalist countries as the latter reduced their dependence on imported raw materials--with the significant exception of oil.
		Imperialism cannot bring genuine liberation to oppressed people, because by its very nature it is driven by the economic and political interests of the world’s most powerful countries.
		Socialists are implacable opponents of all forms of imperialism and national oppression, and we support all struggles for self-determination and national liberation.

	THE 'NEW' IMPERIALISM: ACCUMULATION BY DISPOSSESSION
		The values of the assets that constitute New York City were and are not trivial and the threat of their massive devaluation in 1975 (and now again in 2003) was (and is) viewed by many as a major threat to the future of capitalism.
		It is possible, however, to periodize the historical geography of these processes by taking Arendt seriously when she argues that the European centered imperialism of the period 1884 to 1945 constituted the first stab at global political rule by the bourgeoisie.
		This alternative form of imperialism will hardly be acceptable to wide swathes of the world's population who have lived through and in some instances begun to fight back against accumulation by dispossession and the predatory forms of capitalism they have had to confront over the last few decades.

		Imperialism naturally strives to fasten to the mother country the markets of each new territorial acquisition, convinced that only by such separate increments can the aggregate of our trade grow; and by the success of this policy it must justify the enormous national outlay which Imperialism involves.

		They needed Imperialism because they desired to use the public resources of their country to find profitable employment for their capital which otherwise would be superfluous....
		It is idle to attack Imperialism or Militarism as political expedients or policies unless the axe is laid at the economic root of the tree, and the classes for whose interest Imperialism works are shorn of the surplus revenues which seek this outlet.

		Given the parlous state of the world with an out-of-control US imperialism threatening the world with nuclear weapons, the issue is no mere academic exercise or the dream of idealists, the fate of humanity depends on us producing a viable and just alternative.
		What is most revealing about this alleged piece of news is the total lack of context for the ‘long war’ which even the most perfunctory research reveals about the real objectives of the entirely misnamed ‘long war’ and especially the specious objectives that Goldenberg regurgitates without question, namely the war against the illusory ‘al-Qu’eda’.

		The global actions of the United States since September 11, 2001, are often seen as constituting a “new militarism”; and a “new imperialism.” Yet, neither militarism nor imperialism is new to the United States, which has been an expansionist power—continental, hemispheric, and global—since its inception.

		When Tony Blair's foreign policy advisor, Robert Cooper, called for a "new imperialism" that allows well-governed western nations to impose order and stability on the globe, few had the insight to see it as a prescription to re-order the post-9/11 world, although the thesis had been published earlier.
