Abstract
By examining two of Rudyard Kipling's novels, "Kim" and "Plain Tales", the author of the paper shows how Kipling?s dual theme of imperialism, yet strong portrayal and seemingly contradictory love and fascination of India are exposed in his works.
From the Paper
"In Lispeth, the first of the short stories in The Plain Tales, the principal character is the daughter of natives, who gets baptized as a Christian by her parents in order to gain protection from the missionaries. Though Lispeth was a Hill girl, she was fair and very lovely and with her English habits and name was not fully accepted by either the natives or the British. Again, one sees here Kipling?s tendency to weave a story of Colonial England?s intermingling with native India with a thread of imperialism nevertheless present. "

Abstract
European Imperialism has been described as the age of global integration as European social order manifested an outward movement to other continents. This paper examines how the slow "globalization" by Europeans was fostered by different cultures in the lands they occupied. It has been said that most of the countries did not suffer from imperialism, but this paper shows that this depended on the ruler of the country and the way the changes were implemented. Cultures in the different areas are compared - Asia, Africa and the New World - to see how they were effected by European Imperialism.
From the Paper
"Duiker and Speilvogel's book, World History Since 1865, Volume II examines the emergence of imperialism promoted by Europeans and the resulting affects of their determination to expand, far surpassing imperial Rome. Great Britain, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and even Russia intruded forcefully into Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the South Pacific and finally sought out the North and South Poles. Today, there is common agreement that European overseas expansion was a constant factor of the nineteenth century, with British commercial activities the most obvious."

Abstract
In this article the writer points out that imperialism has been a driving force in global economic and social development throughout much of history. A definition of imperialism is provided as acquiring nations by extending control over foreign entities. The writer notes that from ancient China, through Western Europe, and even today, the process of garnering control and using underutilized assets from lesser developed nations has shaped the world. The writer then discusses that as trade barriers dissolve, it becomes increasingly clear that imperialism has changed form from a singular nation-strategy, to a multi-national organization strategy as a globalizing force. The writer concludes that globalization, in a more socially responsible format, could lead to bona fide human liberation globally, making it the farthest thing from imperialism as possible and, therefore, perhaps the light at the end of the dark imperialistic tunnel.

Introduction
Imperialism Under the Guise of Developing Underdeveloped Nations
Capitalism, Privatization and Modern Imperialism
Imperialism and Globalization

From the Paper
"Throughout history, societies have been subdivided into levels of development. The industrialized nations of Western Europe and North America, and currently more recently industrialized nations such as Japan, have been dubbed "First World" nations, while others such as many nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America, are categorized as "Third World" nations. This categorization occurs due to several factor include poverty levels, industrialization, and productivity of the nation. Historically, Imperialism is the process of seeing the underutilized riches in an underdeveloped nation, and then taking control of the nation in question, in order to benefit from their lack of ability to defend themselves. It is this historic exploitation that has often negatively affected the nation's current global standing."

Abstract
This paper looks at imperialism in the 20th century. It takes a look at both the pro-imperialism and anti-imperialism points of view. Included are the pro-imperialism ideologies of Teddy Roosevelt and Adolph Hitler and the anti-imperialism arguments of Frantz Fanon and Mahandas Gandhi,as well as others. The political ideas of expansionism and protectionism are explored.
From the Paper
"As the 20th century unfolded, the struggle for and against imperialism continued escalate and became a dominant issue on the world political stage. While political figures in countries as disparate as Nazi Germany and the United States supported and justified imperialism, those who were subjects of it willingly put their lives on the line to oppose it and, hopefully, bring it to an end. For the most part, the pro-imperialist, based their arguments on economic need and/or racism. Such is true in the cases of Jules Ferry, Theodore Roosevelt, and Adolph Hitler. On the other hand, those who stood against imperialism based their arguments on human rights and self-determination. Just before the dawn of the 20th century, both Ferry of France and Roosevelt of the United States led the charge for expansionism by their respective countries."

New Imperialism, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the New Imperialism, which took place between 1871 and 1914, resulted from industrialized nations seeking control of foreign territories for economic, military, political, and philosophical aims. The paper describes the conditions that motivated and fueled the New Imperialism, the active players in the age of New Imperialism, and the consequences of New Imperialism for industrialized nations and for the lands and peoples that were subjugated.
From the Paper
"One of the motivating factors for the New Imperialism was world trade. The world markets were becoming increasingly open to free trade, but because of an economic depression, many European powers sought to impose trade tariffs and other restrictions to assume dominance in the market. Also, nations needed new avenues for natural resources and the industrialized nations would compete heavily for access to the natural resources of Africa and Southeast Asia. Africa was the prime victim of the New Imperialism; only two nations remained free of European control. The New Imperialism completely restructured Africa, altering its social, political, and economic realities and undermining ancient indigenous traditions. The industrialized nations also sought potential for new markets for their finished manufactured goods. Therefore, the New Imperialism was mostly based on economic motives."

Ecological Imperialism and Marx's Capitalism, 2008.
This paper discusses ecological imperialism in light of Marx's views on capitalism.

Abstract
This paper looks at how political imperialism and capitalist forces are closely connected with ecological imperialism. In particular, the paper examines the theories of Alfred W. Crosby and Karl Marx on imperialism and looks at how they relate to ecological imperialism. The paper first discusses Crosby's thesis that imperialism did not only change the political and social structures of colonies but also affected their ecological systems. The paper then looks at Marx's arguments about the damage caused by capitalism. According to Marx, capitalism was a force that treated laborers as machines and did not give them the value they deserved. This degradation of work leads to degradation of environment and ecology.
From the Paper
"Imperialism is a well-understood concept and the mere mention of the word generates extreme sentiments of resentment and bitterness against certain nations of the world. When imperialism in politics was destroying the colonies, there was another phenomenon at work, which had also been working hand in hand. It was called ecological imperialism where entire ecologies of colonies were changed because of imperial influences. Alfred W. Crosby first brought this forward in 1986 in his book Ecological Imperialism: The Biological Expansion of Europe, 900-1900."

Imperialism, 2007.
This paper discusses imperialism, making use of the opinions of various contemporary writers.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that various contemporary writers have interpreted the motives for imperialism, the political control by more powerful countries of weaker nations, in vastly different ways. The writer points out that supporters of imperialism, for example, consider it as a benign concept that is beneficial for the colonized people, but the Marxists condemn it as a naked form of capitalistic exploitation, believing that imperial expansion is driven solely by a search for new markets and investment opportunities overseas. The writer concludes that the writings of most pro-imperialism writers reveal an underlying theme that the benefits of imperialism outweigh the costs and that colonization was beneficial for the colonized people. The writer maintains that, in fact, the theory that the stronger and developed nations have an obligation to take over the responsibility of governing the weaker and poorer nations has definite racist overtones.
From the Paper
"Other Western writers and leaders of the period on either side of the Atlantic have expressed similar sentiments in their writings. For example, John Sullivan, a 19th century American journalist, coined the phrase of Manifest Destiny in 1845, arguing that the United States had a divine mandate to expand its territory throughout North America and God had chosen the nation to spread the natural law of freedom and equality among nations that were deprived of such virtues. Jules Ferry, twice Prime Minister of France in the late 19th century, strongly supported French colonial expansion for economic, patriotic, and racial reasons. He argued that French colonial expansion was necessary since the existing markets for French goods were shrinking due to trade barriers and competition from the United States and Germany. As a result, it was imperative for France to colonize weaker nations in Africa and Asia in order to find captive markets for its goods and if it wished to remain a "great nation." At the same time, Ferry expressed the opinion that "superior" races have the right to colonize since they have a 'duty' to civilize inferior races."

Abstract
This paper examines "Culture and Imperialism" by Edward Said, illustrating imperialism through various modes of culture. The paper outlines Said's explanation that imperialism is an ideology that justifies, supports, and legitimates the conquest, control, and domination of lands that are inhabited by other people, who speak different languages and have other traditions. The paper also describes various literary works of the same time period and claims that Said viewed imperialism as the central theme of European literature in the 19th century.
From the Paper
"Edward Said?s Culture and Imperialism postulates that imperialism is not about a moment in history, but rather, about a continuing, interdependent relationship between a people and the dominant peoples and the dominant dialogue of an empire. Said sees "the disputed value of knowledge about imperialism . . . (as) a compellingly important and interesting configuration in the world of power and nations. There is no question," he insists, "that in the past decade the extraordinarily intense reversion to tribal and religious sentiments all over the world has accompanied and deepened many of the discrepancies among polities that have continued since . . . the period of high European imperialism.?

New Imperialism, 2004.
A look at how technological and nationalistic innovations created a new world order at the beginning of the 20th century.

Abstract
This paper looks at how the interaction and mutual reinforcement of technological innovations, nationalist motivations, and new imperialism created an entirely new global system by the beginning of the early 20th century. The writer points out that, during this time, European powers controlled large portions of the world's land mass, including China, India, and Africa. The root cause of this explosion in colonialism can be found in the nationalistic motivations of European nations, which desired to affirm the supremacy of their countries through expansion and domination. It argues that the success of new imperialism can be traced to the development and adaptation of new technologies like quinine, steel-hulled gunboats, breech-loading rifles, railroads, and the telegraph. It explains how these technologies allowed European powers unprecedented access to India, China, and Africa, thus providing the means for the advent of the new imperialism. In turn, the success of the new imperialism reaffirmed the colonialist belief in their nationalistic motivations and the supremacy of their nation.
From the Paper
"By the early 20th century, a new and distinctive global system had developed out of the interaction and mutual reinforcement of technological innovations, nationalist motivations, and new imperialism. Nationalist motivations to acquire land and glory for the good of one's nation likely played an important part in driving the new imperialism that characterized the beginning of the 19th century. In turn, technology provided a means for countries like Britain and France to expand their overseas territories, and thus bring many of their nationalist dreams to fruition. Overall, the interplay between nationalist motivations, new imperialism and technological innovation was a complex and profoundly important factor in the history of the early 20th century and late 19th century."

American Imperialism, 2009.
An argument that American imperialism began with the Westward expansion and has led to a history of hegemony and interference.
700 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 24.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the imperialism of the United States in the Westward expansion and the interference in overseas affairs, like that of Hawaii. The paper also discusses the United States' involvement in Latin America and the Middle East as examples of imperialism. The paper reveals that while this involvement often masqueraded as an altruistic attempt to instill democracy, studies have suggested that democracy is not necessarily beneficial for the impoverished people it pretends to help. The paper concludes that while American imperialism has not established itself as a formal conquest for land, the influence that the United States has exercised on other states has resulted in an imperialist legacy.
From the Paper
"While the United States' primary motivation for revolution and independence was England's invasive interference into the colonists' affairs, soon after becoming a sovereign nation, the current hegemon began practicing an imperialism of their own. While many scholars have cast this imperialism in the same negative light as its contemporaries' brand of imperialism, other studies have suggested that American imperialism rises out of United States' liberal philosophies (Ninkovich 2001, p.2). Although American imperialism is most often associated with Westward expansion, the imperialistic foreign policy decisions of the 1800s simply set the stage for the United States' history of hegemony and interference that masquerades as "empire-lite," but functions similarly to any other empire."
