    Study Notes

    Colonization

    • Colonization goes hand in hand with colony/colonialism, but there are exceptions: colonies without colonization (e.g., only military conquest) and colonization without colonies (e.g., border colonization)
    • Internal colonialization: a process where a dominant group within a country exercises control over a weaker group (e.g., Brazil and the hinterland)
    • Subcolonial relations: relationships between one colony and another colony of the empire

    Types of Colonies

    • Administration and legal statuses: viceroyalties, audiencias, protectorates, Crown colonies, free states, overseas provinces, League of Nation mandates, UN trusteeship territories, etc.
    • Economy and population: pure settlement colonies, plantation colonies, exploitation colonies, trading settlements, maritime enclaves, etc.

    Empires

    • Formal empires: several 'peripheries' are subordinated to the center (e.g., Portugal, Spain, Dutch Republic, France, Britain)
    • Semi-empires: colonial powers without empires (e.g., Spain post 1820, Belgium)
    • Informal empires: pursuit of interests beyond acquisition of territory (e.g., China, 19th-century Britain in Latin America, etc.)

    Imperialism

    • Comprises all forces and activities contributing to the construction and maintenance of empires
    • Imperialism is more comprehensive than colonialism, and colonialism is a special manifestation of imperialism
    • No absolute difference between imperialism and colonialism

    Examples

    • The Roman Empire (ca. 150 AD)
    • The Tatar (Mongol) empire
    • The Austrian Habsburg Empire
    • Imperialism vs. colonization: relationship between metropolis and conquered areas (e.g., border colonization)
    • The Russian empire
    • Soviet expansion and satellite states in Central Europe after WW II
    • China under Han, Jin, Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qing
    • Precolonial empires in Western Africa
    • The Inca Empire
    • The Abassid empire under khalif Hārūn al-Rashīd (763-809)
    • The Ottoman Empire in 1683

    • Geography
    • Technology
    • Economy
    • Politics
    • Culture
    • Irrationality
    • Combination

    Theories

    • Niall Ferguson: competition, science, property, medicine, consumption, and work
