This chapter discusses the relationship between the oppression of women and economic imperialism. Women’s unpaid domestic labour is a fundamental factor of fast capital accumulation. The oppression of women in production, reproduction, and gender relations are integral parts of neoliberal social structure. In a gendered global division of labour, the consumerist way of life in the developed countries is actually facilitated by the exploitation of labour and body of women from the developing countries. The super-exploitation of women has triggered a global crisis of labour power reproduction as well as the rise of women’s anti-imperialist movements.

Informal labour relations and underemployed persons abound in many formerly colonized countries. The abundance of persons offering their labour power in relationship to the limited demand for their labour stems from the insufficient absorption of peasants set free from their land. In many late industrializing countries, most of those who are leaving agriculture do not find gainful employment. In fact, many of the late industrializers are prematurely de-industrializing. Based on a comparison between the conditions prevalent among the early industrializers and present-day latecomers to industry and advanced services, this chapter highlights how the generally violent passage from an agrarian-rural to a capitalist industrial-urban economy is aggravated by imperialist legacies and current post-imperialist practices for many countries of the Global South.

Hypothesizing that fostering trade facilitates synergic growth and that convergence can overwhelm initial development differences, eastern nation states abandoned their production modes to become part of the European economic area. Accordingly, this chapter furnishes an answer to the question of whether or not the transition rendered an asset or a liability, concerning newly integrated states. Consequently, the transition process is investigated as the principal engine behind the unequal labour exchange, whereas its success is weighted against the extent of cross-country differences regarding social labour recognition. The study reveals the transition countries have experienced a radical capital intensity increase and suffered from below-equilibrium prices obtained at the commodity markets. It appears that the transition countries are homogenizing and catching-up with Western countries. However, this process is far from over and is hindered by the persisting unequal relations, enabling the west to exploit international inequalities and exercise economic dominance over the east.

This chapter considers recent forms of uprising in the Global South that deal with the legacy of neoliberalism, debt, and economic imperialism that emanate from US economic imperialism and the Washington Consensus. It specifically addresses Chile as a laboratory for neoliberalism and the social and political movements that directly addressed histories of wealth accumulation through extractive and racial capitalism. It also addresses how state violence and an expanding prison and military infrastructure is used to criminalize protest and describe creative strategies of resistance and refusal.

This chapter examines how institutional imperialism technically shapes and politically frames national development in the dynamic relations between the world order and regions. The investigation focuses on the political economy of Colombia’s incorporation into the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) between 2010 and 2018. Departing from a critical global political economy (GPE) approach, the investigation critically explores the role assumed by the OECD as neutral and purely technical, analyzing the dynamics of power in the intersections of domestic-international economics. It shows how the OECD technically shapes and politically frames national development in key areas that define the international insertion of the country into the world economy, with domestic laws based on the Washington Consensus and post-Consensus. Three major conclusions are reached. The first is that international organizations can determine domestic policies of development with the aim of inserting peripheral countries within an imperialist economy so as to facilitate the transfer of value, as is shown to be the case with Colombia. The second contribution is how multilateral recommendations become central conditionalities that define the relationship between the international organization and the state but are presented as neutral and technical standards. Finally, the chapter describes how this dynamic of imperialist economic integration took form in several domestic policies in Colombia, presenting them as ‘better policies for development’.

Bill Dunn
This chapter introduces and reviews a long tradition of theories which highlight unequal trade relations between countries, contesting the Ricardian view of mutual gains. Focussing particularly on mercantilism, ideas of changing terms of trade after Prebisch and Singer, and theories of unequal exchange, the chapter assesses the utility of theories of trade inequality in the twenty-first century. It argues that trade, and trade inequalities, need to be understood in their social and historical context and as one important dimension of the broader construction, reconstruction, and contestation of social relations. Contemporary trade relations therefore need to be understood, in particular, alongside changing class relations within countries and in the context of the expansion of corporate investment, which among other things creates problems for the way trade and the putative gains from trade are measured. Relations of trade also need to be understood in the context of broader relations of international inequality, particularly relations of political power and of money and finance.

This chapter discusses how international exploitation and unequal exchange emerge in the global economy by focussing on simple economic models with and without credit markets. Free trade of commodities among rich and poor countries results in a transfer of labour time between countries, allowing the citizens of some countries to consume more of the world’s social labour than they have contributed. Capital movements across borders together with strong restrictions on the movement of people result in net exporters of capital exploiting (or benefitting from unequal exchange at the expense of) net capital importers. Under perfect competition, mutual benefits from free trade in goods and capital can coexist alongside unequal flows of revenue and labour in the world economy. Market imperfections and the open use of coercion are not necessary for international exploitation to emerge. However, they may be central for it to persist over time.

This chapter provides a broad overview of the literature on economic imperialism. The first part of the chapter defines the concept of economic imperialism and the distinctive heuristics according to which related phenomena may be analysed. The second part of the chapter describes five modes of economic imperialism, namely, colonialism, internal colonialism, settler colonialism, investment imperialism, and unequal exchange. Each of these is both predicated upon and reinforces national oppression, that is, the de facto or de jure denial of self-determination to national groups and their capacity to democratically determine their own economic development. The chapter concludes by highlighting the limits of much contemporary ‘anti-imperialism’, and the tendency for ‘anti-imperialist’ discourse to provide cover for authoritarian and imperialist states outside ‘the West’.

This chapter deconstructs the widely publicized set of statistics purportedly showing that extreme poverty in the world has fallen dramatically since 1990 as articulated by the World Bank and reiterated by leading UN institutions, neoliberal think tanks, publications, and spokespersons. The analytical categories and methodology employed by the World Bank to calculate its poverty statistics are subjected to a systematic critique, demonstrating that they serve the interests of economic imperialism. By artificially reducing global poverty through the statistical manipulation of its poverty metric, the World Bank can trumpet the success of neoliberalism, legitimating its further expansion through US-backed coups in countries such as Haiti and Bolivia. The genocidal misery imposed on the people of the Global South by the World Bank and the IMF through neoliberal policies such as structural adjustment programs and free trade agreements is thereby statistically erased, laying the foundation for a narrative of dramatically falling global poverty in the ‘New Millennium’ at odds with reality. If more reasonable metrics are used, such as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) $5 per day standard, global poverty has clearly not fallen as claimed. The chapter also shows how neoliberalism itself is a form of economic imperialism. Finally, the rise of the BRICS and China in particular, celebrated by neoliberals and some on the left, is analysed as a development that ultimately fortifies, rather than contradicts, the advance of imperialism in the twenty-first century.

Understanding the economic and political dimensions of imperialism requires a careful theoretical reading and close empirical study of the historical phases involved. This chapter critically examines the historically and contemporary implications of how Southeast Asia was incorporated into the world market. It traces how the rival colonial powers established exploitative mechanisms in order to extract surplus value from the region. US imperialism in the form of export of capital and production did not replace the European former colonial powers but became a supplement to Japanese and British economic imperialism in the region. This chapter challenges the conventional wisdom that American economic imperialism and hegemony was benign and not based on the British and Japanese use of brute force and conquest. In contrast to this view, the chapter argues that American monopoly capital expansion should be viewed by its ‘essential oneness’ between economic, political, and military-strategic objectives/tendencies.
