Intro to Gender Studies
Neocolonialism refers to the practice where a powerful country exerts economic, political, or cultural influence over a less powerful country, often after the latter has gained independence. This influence often perpetuates the inequalities established during colonial rule, allowing former colonial powers or new global actors to dominate resources, economies, and social systems. Neocolonialism is crucial in understanding how globalization continues to shape gender roles and identities as well as how it affects the dynamics of transnational feminist movements.
