For instance intra-Third-World economic connections between Brasil-India-South Africa is also looked at as a bad-deal by many U.S. corporations. There was an article in a foreign policy journal I read in the 1980s tht predicted such deals and said that they were a danger to the U.S. which was why the author advocated a "slow" transition in South Africa. Now it seems that these elite fears of intra-Third World economic alliances are coming true.
No, this is actually not a problem for imperialism. It is better considered 'subimperialism', and indeed is a useful if not necessary component of accumulation by dispossession.
Working closely with transnational capital and multilateral agencies, the governments/capital of India, Brazil and South Africa are deputy sheriffs, legitimisers of neoliberalism, and looters of their regional hinterlands. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
