Talk:Modern Western Imperialism

Yes, I agree that this could be merged with Imperialism. The article at present is more of a synopsis of the issues that are relevant to the topic, but I plan to expand it and will be adding appropriate references and sources shortly.

In itself the subject is a little ambiguous by nature. Mostly due to debate over what actually constitutes "Modern Western Imperialsm" per se. But I think the debate is a valid one, with arguable cases on either side. Therefore I think this article could eventually form a significant section of the Imperialism article proper.--Usandthem 14:43, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep and do not merge. The article is in the process of being written now, so let's wait to see how it looks when the author is finished. The face of Modern Western Imperialism as it is usually used is somewhat different from 19th century Imperialism, which took on somehwat of a different character.

 * This isn't a bad start, and I don't think it should be merged with imperialism. I do think there is some overlap with Neocolonialism. - SimonP 04:31, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge
I think it could be merged but notice it to be different from the rest of the articles. However if the author is not done with the article i agree that we should wait until he/she is done. Because it is important to relize that it still exists today (whether or not the debate says it does not) It should be included.

this should definitely be merged because this is really just an extension of the imperialism article. it should be kept seperate thought just to differentiate the two and for the benefit of the author.

I do not think it should be merged. It is a new type of imperialism, though it should be mentioned in imperialism and linked.

Merge – not only do I 'think' these articles need to be merged, I'm doing it right now. WhY? Because the term 'Modern Western Imperialism' is not a generally-recongised term. The generally-used term is 'imperialism', therefore this is what the article should be called. There is a misconception around that there is some older meaning of 'imperialism', but this is not really true. mg e kelly 01:35, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
