WHAT DOES NEOCOLONIAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

neocolonial

Neocolonialism

Neocolonialism is the geopolitical practice of using capitalism, business globalization, and cultural imperialism to influence a country, in lieu of either direct military control or indirect political control, i.e. imperialism and hegemony. The term neo-colonialism was coined by Ghanaian president Kwame Nkrumah, to describe the socio-economic and political control that can be exercised economically, linguistically, and culturally, whereby promotion of the culture of the neo-colonist country facilitates the cultural assimilation of the colonised people and thus opens the national economy to the multinational corporations of the neo-colonial country. In post-colonial studies, the term neo-colonialism describes the domination-praxis of countries from the developed world in the respective internal affairs of the countries of the developing world; that, despite the decolonisation that occurred in the aftermath of the Second World War, the colonial powers continue to apply existing and past international economic arrangements with their former colony countries, and so maintain colonial control.
