Study Notes

Methods Used to Facilitate Neo-Colonialism in Africa

Economic Methods

  • Privatisation policies from conditionalities affected African nations via demanding citizens to pay for social services.
  • Policies also include, reduction of government spending, promotion of foreign investments, and abolition of government subsidies.
  • Implementing these policies gave capitalist nations access to African natural resources.
  • International trade involved capitalist nations trading with African, although it resulted in exploitation because raw materials from Africa were cheaper than industrial products exported to Africa.
