economic imperialism Domination of the economies of colonies by their rulers, or of politically independent countries by foreign or multinational companies. It can be argued that true independence is impossible for small, weak, and backward countries faced with domination of their trade, and possibly their extractive industries, by large, sophisticated and monopolistic firms based in the advanced countries. The dependency of peripheral countries is accentuated when the rules governing international trade and investment are written by the most advanced countries. |
