Description
Neocolonialism is the practice of using economics, globalization, cultural imperialism, and conditional aid to influence a country instead of the previous colonial methods of direct military control (imperialism) or indirect political control (hegemony). Neocolonialism differs from standard globalization and development aid in that it typically results in a country being rendered dependent, subservient, or financially obligated toward the neocolonialist nation. This can generate an undue degree of political control or spiraling debt obligations, which functionally mimics the mercantilist relationship between imperial nations and their colonies.
