@book{Harshe1997, abstract = {Located in the historical context of the twentieth century, this volume by author {R}ajen {H}arshe explores the dynamic tensions between the shifting contours of imperialism and the radical social theories that attempt to conceptualize them. {M}oving beyond the conventional parameters of capitalism, {T}wentieth-{C}entury {I}mperialism probes various related concepts including colonialism, neo-colonialism, proto second-tier imperialism, hegemony (in a {G}ramscian sense), and social imperialism in order to assess their theoretical and empirical validity in the context of the third world. {U}sing examples drawn from a wide variety of countries, including the {U}nited {S}tates, {F}rance, {B}ritain, {I}ran, and {S}outh {A}frica, this volume shares fresh perspectives and situates the discussions in the debates on imperialism and the third world. {A}uthor {R}ajen {H}arshe concludes that imperialism in the truest sense is very much alive today thanks to its resilience and cooptive capacities. {T}wentieth-{C}entury {I}mperialism provides interesting analysis that will interest students and academics in political science, imperial history, international relations, economic history, and political thought.
