What is the modern version of Colonialism?

Question

Hided forms of Colonialism continue to exist, may be, because there are many countries such as India, which is not a colony any more, it is independent.

Yet many concerns set up their firms on its territory and actually use child and woman labour as cheap labour while pretending to be peacemakers and benefactors. They even do not give people any fair possibility or money instead.

They set it well out. They pay people just enough to support their livelihood which stays in a very poor condition, and even so those salaries aren’t often enough. They do not care to provide any chances or means for labourers’ education, of course not, because it would be risky.

If those people, children would get a chance for education, they would become clever and stop working for someone else. They would be interested in the development of their country, their families, in their own growth.

What modern examples of Colonisation do YOU know?

Answer 1

Development of "their country, their families, and their growth" comes from foreign investment and trade. Socialist strategies have utterly failed in developing countries. Big developing countries like India and China have only experience growth and a rising standard of living when they began to open up their economies to globalization. It's the failure of autarky and their indigenous economies that has inspired so many LDCs to embrace globalism in the first place.

Answer 2

Now its done through large corporations- Corporate Colonalation

Answer 3

US bases all over the world. Iraq Afghanistan Guantanamo bay (part of Cuba)

Answer 4

The modern form of colonialism today is globalization.  It feeds raw materials/labor from developing countries at a cheap price to the developed industrialized nations that then use them to make goods.  Because the developing countries do not have the infrastructure or ability to compete in other types of markets against developed countries, they are basically stuck with the economic and development terms that we give them.  Seems pretty much like colonialism to me.

Answer 5

Tibet.  China is all over it.  Also Hawaii if you think about it.

Answer 6

occupation of iraq ! where were you for the past 6 years?

Answer 7

There is no modern version of colonialism.
