“…Furthermore, while these comparisons identify diversity, they also emphasize continuity in the history of empire and imperialism: asserting that the empires that we see today have a great deal in common with the empires of the past. While modern scholars as diverse as Burbank and Cooper (), Johnson (), Nexon (), and Parker () have all argued that the historical development of imperialism is not only synonymous with the historical development of human civilization, but that its scholarly analysis still remains pertinent and revealing, so too did the earliest scholars writing on the subject. As Smith ([1776] :393) remarked, “the interest which occasioned the first settlement of the different European colonies in America and the West Indies was not altogether so plain and distinct as that which directed the establishment of those of ancient Greece and Rome.” However, one distinction between these earlier scholars, such as Locke, Smith, James and JS Mill, and Marx, and the later scholars beginning with Hobson, is that between colonialism and imperialism.…”

A prominent theme in scholarly analyses of contemporary international affairs concerns the extent to which the unrivalled power and activities of the United States can be said to constitute a form of imperialism. Typically, the contours of this debate center on the ostensible differences between “old” and “new” varieties of imperialist practice. Yet the concept of “new imperialism” remains one on which little consensus exists. Wide differences of opinion on its origins, dynamics, and characteristics are evident, as is an analytical bifurcation between distinct “economic” and “geopolitical” explanations. This absence of conceptual unity leads to accounts of new imperialist strategy that are partial, limited, and incomplete. If the theoretical value of new imperialism is to be realized, a more holistic approach is needed. To this end, some of the key differences between the contexts of new and old imperialism are explored.

The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS), created in 1992 and directed by Professor Brigid Laffan, aims to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research on the major issues facing the process of European integration, European societies and Europe's place in 21 st century global politics. The Centre is home to a large post-doctoral programme and hosts major research programmes, projects and data sets, in addition to a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration, the expanding membership of the European Union, developments in Europe's neighbourhood and the wider world.
