Imperialism has resurfaced as an area of scholarly study in recent
years, particularly among those concerned with political economy
and international relations. Do countries engage in foreign
intervention and "just war" because they feel a responsibility
toward the international community? Or are these actions
rationalizations for the pursuit of commercial, industrial,
financial, and military interests? Around the world, economies,
cultures, politics, laws, and nation-states are profoundly shaped
by imperialism, both historical and contemporary. Including
thirty-four chapters written by academics and experts in the field
of international political economy, The Oxford Handbook of Economic
Imperialism presents comprehensive theoretical, empirical, and
historical accounts of economic imperialism from the early modern
age to the present. Over the course of three sections, the Handbook
looks at the theory and concepts behind the study of imperialism,
the international political economy of imperialism, and imperialism
in various regions of the world today. In so doing, the Handbook
demonstrates the persistence of economic imperialism in today's
postcolonial world, and the enduring control wielded by great
powers even after the end of formal empire. Moreover, the Handbook
reveals how emerging powers are expanding economic control in new
geographic and geopolitical contexts, and highlights the
significance of economic imperialism in the structures, relations,
processes, and ideas that sustain poverty and conflict worldwide.
