metropole

Examples of metropole in the following topics:

• Colonialism and Neocolonialism

  • It is a process whereby the metropole, or parent state, claims sovereignty over the colony, and the social structure, government, and economy of the colony are changed by colonizers from the metropole.
  • Colonialism is a set of unequal relationships between the metropole and the colony, and between the colonists and the indigenous, or native, population .

• Colonialism, Decolonization, and Neo-Colonialism

  • In colonialism, the metropole or colonizing power claims sovereignty over the colony.

• Blue Water Imperialism

  • Broadly, blue water imperialists aimed to use the power of the metropole to enforce the proper conditions that would allow for commercial and maritime expansion.
  • Hence, commerce should be an unfettered enterprise: the colonies and the metropole would weave together a common culture and identity through mutual and harmonious trading interests as opposed to conquering foreign territories with expensive armies and engaging in conflict with colonized peoples.
