>How is that a kind of colonialism? In addition, what's your definition of colonialism? It is a bit of a questionable correlation I would agree. Global corporations enter countries and begin to hold sway and control over the local governments. Though there is no settlements there is a strong financial force entering the countries. I know this isn't new but technology has compounded the effect. Think the Arab Spring ( a lot would agree this was a good thing, its just an example ). This effort was mobilized/made possible by technology firms that entered those countries allowing them to place large pressures on the systems and change them. Good or bad is not the argument the question is if the external corporations were able to sway the direction of the countries. In addition, I once heard a very famous investor from Omaha state they are able to sway the economic futures of countries. ( Hopefully they are benevolent in this )
