Perhaps this "new New Imperialism" is more of a phase in a process that was, in the 20th century, interrupted by rising nationalism and anti-colonialism? Citation is, of course, always welcome. I like to invent new words now and then, but so far none of them have really stuck. But I keep trying!

I like that it gets away from -ism & - studies. Can I cite you from now on? As for Duara's Imperialism without Colonialism, I agree that the distinction holds less valence for me - it's the effect.
