During the nineteenth-century vast areas of the underdeveloped
world were invaded and colonised under the justification of Anti
Slavery and the Civilising Mission. In this powerful analysis,
Furedi demonstrates how, in the late twentieth century, the major
nations of the West are again intervening in the Third World - this
time legitimising their actions on new moral grounds. Furedi's
multidisciplinary study examines the language, nature and origins
of the new moral justification for such massive intervention.
Furedi argues that, in the wake of the collapse of Soviet
communism, the West now presents the Third World as the major
threat to international stability, offering Western democracy and
financial systems as the solution, thus providing a 'new moral
imperative' for rebuilding a viable imperialist ideology. Furedi
examines this new anti-Third World view and concludes that we are
experiencing the rehabilitation of the imperialist ideas that are
depriving post colonial societies of their own moral authority.
