Globalisation or Imperialism: The Dynamic Power Facades in the 21st century

Abstract

Hegemonic powers of the United States are concealed by the prima facie of development. The White man’s burden that the ‘civilised’ nations have taken upon themselves is now manifested towards the whole world in the name of Globalisation. The growth of TNCs has accelerated the process of Imperialism masked as Globalisation, which has further left the employees to be alienated. The project of neo-liberalisation has been used as an umbrella term to conceal the atrocities that the West has inflicted upon the Third-World countries. The unattainable picture that it has rendered to the developing nations, disguised as modernisation, is nothing but the fake promises of the American Dream.
