Postmodern imperialism and the European Union

Throughout history, dominant nations have exerted control over foreign parts of the world. In the past, powerful nations would colonize other parts of the world in order to expand their own reach . This practice was referred to as imperialism. Imperialism often involved direct violence, coercion, and subjugation of native populations. Colonial imperialism is a thing of the past. Despite this, dominant powers still exert their influence on other parts of the world. This is referred to as postmodern imperialism. The most common methods of postmodern imperialism involve the spread of capitalism and culture to other nations. Dominant powers such as the United States and European Union are involved with these practices. This paper will focus on the European Union and how its policies exert influence upon other nations in a manner consistent with postmodern imperialism.Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg
