Question

How globalisation is extension of imperialism upsc?

Answer 1

Both development and globalization can be understood as imperialism—as different faces of the same dynamics arising out of a project of world domination and longstanding efforts of the United States to establish its hegemony. This paper reconstructs some of the major dynamics of international development, both as a strategic project and as an objective process of economic progress. It then turns toward the discourse on globalization and the argument that globalization is little more than a mask for the imperialist agenda of the US superpower. The paper argues that the “new imperialism” as presented and constructed by its neoconservative ideologues is based on the overt projection of political power and military force: as war rather than local development or the projection of economic power (aid, trade, investment, globalization). It concludes that NGOs and other elements of civil society have been pressed into imperial service, providing strategic assistance to the empire to quell the fire of revolutionary ferment on the southern periphery of the system, particularly in the countryside of rural development and social movements.

Answer 2

Answer:

Imperialism is the idea, plan, or action of expanding a country's influence, especially by outright territorial conquests or covert influence over the political or economic systems of neighboring countries

Globalization - The term "globalization" is used to describe how trade and technology have increased connectivity and interdependence around the world. The resulting economic and societal developments are also included in the scope of globalization.

Explanation:

Now a days we can clearly see that globalization is the extension of imperialism or we can simply say that globalization is the modern day imperialism. Below are some facts to support this statement:

• The country with vital resources dominate the prices of such resources.
• The powerful countries have greater say in policy formulation for world trade and commerce.
• In the United Nations, the weaker countries which are dependent upon the stronger countries fear opposing the stronger countries and thus have to agree to all dominant policies of the stronger countries.
• The powerful countries try to sell weapons to weaker countries in name of globalization to push them into wars.
• The countries in name of globalization , influence the host country people to adopt their culture and traditions. They do it by supplying affordable products and services of their culture and tradition at low prices.
• The guest country tries to take over the host country market by dumping goods at very low prices, crushing the small industries in the host country.

Hence, we can say that Globalization is the extension of Imperialism.
