What is meant by neocolonialism? Does the evidence suggest that relations between the developed countries and the developing countries constitute neocolonialism?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Neocolonialism can be defined as the informal and indirect, but still significant, control of the resources, the economic system, and even the political system of a less developed country by powerful external actors. Many argue that the end of the colonial era did not end subordination of many countries in the Global South. This is because countries of the Global South are dependent on those of the Global North.
2. The more developed countries, international financial institutions, and multinational corporations are the major sources of the financial capital, advanced technologies, and even the security that many actors in developing countries need to survive in the global system. Many countries of the Global South also rely on exporting commodities, such as oil or diamonds, which furthers their dependency. For example, just under 50 percent of the merchandise exports coming from the less developed countries are primary commodities. This is consistent with the notion of neocolonialism.
