Cultural Imperialism Term Papers

Cultural Imperialism term papers discuss outright, military-based imperialism of the type that was practiced by western powers at the beginning of the twentieth century, which has gone out of favor since that time. The decline of colonial empires has been an on-going process since the end of World War I and this process accelerated after World War II when the British Empire was dissolved and the French were kicked out of Indochina. The politicians of today’s great powers no longer think in terms of far-flung global empires based on military occupation of subject states.
But, as I will argue in this term paper, the spirit of imperialism is far from dead in the world today; it is, in my opinion, something which exists, but which has had its form altered. Cultural imperialism has replaced political imperialism. The new imperialism’s nature and purposes are the same as the older form of imperialism, but it operates in a different and more constrained manner and, unlike the older version of imperialism, it depends to a certain degree on the voluntary agreement of the targeted populations.
“Imperialism” of the older type is defined by the third edition of Webster’s New World Dictionary in these terms, “the policy and practice of forming and maintaining an empire in seeking to control raw materials and world markets by the conquest of other countries, the establishment of colonies, etc.”

The new imperialism, cultural imperialism, has the same ends—control of raw materials and markets—as did the old, but its form of “conquest” is not military, but cultural. Its armies are not composed of regiments of soldiers, but rather of regiments of ad men. Most importantly, it is not specifically the work of governments, but rather the work of corporations. This leads me to ask whether this should be a political science term paper or an international business term paper. But, lest we think the new imperialism is more benign than was the old, we must remember that the new imperialism—like the old—is about exploitation, and that it is—just as was the old—profoundly destructive of certain aspects of the cultures of the subject countries.
