From the Paper:

"Imperialism is a dirty word these days, long after the death of the great empires; yet it still resonates as the universal bane of the poor and those dispossessed of the earth. Many, if not most, developing former colonies find themselves dealing with many negative cultural and economic consequences of colonial rule and the imperial reach of Western corporate power is very much with us, everywhere. From Coca Cola and McDonald's junk food, to MTV junk culture, with its thug idols and preoccupation with and glorification of greed, violence and lust, most of the world has been inundated by the icons of cultural imperialism."
