2 Trevor R. Getz Professor, History 222 Science Building I. What is this class? History 400 is a class about 16 th -20 th century imperialism. Loosely defined, imperialism centers around the act of political subjugation of one peoples by another. However, imperialism by definition never entails complete assimilation culturally, economically, or (it turns out) politically. Thus it is more a give-andtake relationship than total domination; resistance to and subversion of the imperial mission is commonplace. This class is about conquest and domination, but it is also about gender, race, class, and culture. We will discuss imperialism as an internalized ideology amongst Europeans and to a lesser extent American and Japanese societies. We will also look at imperialism s partner colonialism in terms of the relationship between metropole and colony. The first part of this class will center upon a discussion of the origins and context from which modern imperialism arose. We will then look closely at the reasons for, and events of, imperial expansion. We will spend much of this course seeking to understand the reciprocity of the colonial relationship, as well as its ultimate oppression, and finally we will look at decolonization, and ask whether colonialism has actually met its end. Course objectives By the end of this course, students will be able to: Engage the discourse on the origins of modern imperialism. Discuss imperialism as a constituent element of 19 th and 20 th century European societies, cultural constructs, military, and economic considerations. Understand the roles of the metropoles and periphery in jointly constructing the operations of the colonial state. Demostrate various models for the functioning of colonial states. Investigate the roles of colonized peoples in the functioning and undermining of the colonial system. Compare imperial and colonial systems globally Define and discuss various approaches to and understandings of modern imperialism. 2

CONCEPTS Pre-colonial local context Existing polities/politics ethnicity and identity religion class and caste Colonial theory Marxist Conservative Historical/Political/Strategic Gentlemen Capitalists Psychological Liberal Stages (not necessarily in this order) Partition Pacification Intensification Compromise/Contraction Decolonization Strategies of rule Indirect Direct Association Assimilation Indigenous agency (categories) Resistance Accommodation Subversion Collaboration Survival Places Metropole Regional amalgam Dominion Colony Protectorate Colonial capital Urban zone of interaction Rural district/cercle Frontier Plantation/mine Key Agents Metropolitan ministry Independent European merchant houses/agents Colonial officials Missionaries Métis communities Local religious leaders intelligentsia bourgeoisie chiefs/aristocrats urban proletariat rural peasant class World events/trends Brussels conference Berlin conference Franco-Prussian War Great depression WWI WWII Cold War Gunpowder Empires Russian Central Asian Empire Ottoman Empire Ming Dynasty China Habsburg Empire Portuguese overseas empire New Style Empires American Pacific territories Japanese Far East Empire British Empire Belgium (Congo) Dutch Indies Portuguese (Africa and Indonesia) French d outre mer and Empire German Empire

6 III. Basic Theories Conservative Theories Examples: Disraeli, Rhodes, Kipling Imperialism is necessary to preserve the existing social order in the more developed countries. It is necessary to secure trade, markets, to maintain employment and capital exports, and to channel the energies and social conflicts of the metropolitan populations into foreign countries. There is a very strong ideological and racial assumption of Western superiority within this body of thought. Liberal Theories Examples: Hobson, Angell Imperialism is a policy choice, not an inevitable consequence of capitalism. Increasing concentration of wealth within the richer countries leads to underconsumption for the mass of people. Overseas expansion is a way to reduce costs (and thereby increase or maintain profit levels) and to secure new consumption. Overseas expansion is not inevitable, however. A state can solve the problem of underconsumption by increasing the income levels of the majority of the population either through legislation concerning wage levels (minimum wage laws, legalization of unions, child labor laws) or through income transfers (unemployment compensation, welfare). Marxist Theories Example: Lenin Imperialism also arises because increased concentration of wealth leads to undeconsumption. However, since the state represents the capitalist interest it is not possible to reduce underconsumption effectively through liberal strategies. Both strategies involve taking away money from the bourgeoisie and Marx and Lenin did not view this strategy as possible. Ultimately, according to Lenin, the world would be completely divided up and the rich countries would then fight over the redivision of the world. This analysis served as his explanation for World War I. Political Theories Examples: Morgenthau, Cohen Imperialism is simply a manifestation of the balance of power and is the process by which nations try to achieve a favorable change in the status quo. The purpose of imperialism is to decrease the strategic and political vulnerability of a nation. Social-Psychological Theories Example: Schumpeter Imperialism is objectless expansion, a pattern simply learned from the behavior of other nations and institutionalized into the domestic political processes of a state by a "warrior" class. This warrior class is created because of the need for defense, but, over time, the class will manufacture reasons to perpetuate its existence, usually through manipulation of crises. 6
