ARUNDHATI ROY AS A CRITIC OF NEO-IMPERIALISM

Abstract

Neo- imperialism unlike imperialism is not founded upon the direct imposition of political power by one society upon another, instead Neo imperialism uses the power of money in the modern world as a way for richer countries to keep poorer countries from stepping outside of the roles that richer countries have defined for them. The most obvious and straight forward example of Neo- imperialism today is the relationship between industrialized societies and third world.
