So rather than an ongoing occupying(SP?) imperialism, you're saying that imposing a certain set of rules or exercising a degree of fiscal influence upon a nation equates to imperialism? Intriguing thought.
So by extension if we were to "impose" democracy on a nation by forcefully deposing a dictator, then leave, we have exercised imperialism on that nation?
