Outmoded
political categories are prone to linger beyond their relevance to
ongoing reality. One of these is the concept of "neo-colonialism," a
term coined in 1965 by Kwame Nkrumah,
who became president of newly independent Ghana. For him, formulating a
modern extension of the argument of Lenin, neo-colonialism was the last
stage of "imperialism."
Inherent in this view is that the former colonial powers now use various methods to operate in other countries not only in the economic field, but also in the political, religious, ideological, and cultural spheres. They use innumerable ways to obtain objectives formally achieved by outright colonialism.
