Neo-colonialism (also Neocolonialism) is the geopolitical practice of using capitalism, business globalization, and cultural imperialism to influence a country, in lieu of either direct military control or indirect political control, i.e. imperialism and hegemony.[1]
The term neo-colonialism was coined by Ghanaian president Kwame Nkrumah, to describe the socio-economic and political control that can be exercised economically, linguistically, and culturally, whereby promotion of the culture of the neo-colonist country facilitates the cultural assimilation of the colonised people and thus opens the national economy to the multinational corporations of the neo-colonial country.
This philosophy is the cornerstone of globalist organizations like the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
The Project for the New American Century was an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. established in 1997 as a non-profit educational organization founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan. The PNAC’s stated goal is “to promote American global leadership.”[2]
Fundamental to the PNAC were the view that “American leadership is both good for America and good for the world” and support for “a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity.”[3]
With its members in numerous key administrative positions, the PNAC exerted influence on high-level U.S. government officials in the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush and affected the Bush Administration’s development of military and foreign policies, especially involving national security and the Iraq War.[4][5]
This is just on example of just one globalist group and their ability to influence the power balance of a country and thus the world.

The PNAC was often identified as a “neo-con” or “right-wing think tank” in profiles featured on the websites of “left-wing” and “progressive” “policy institute” and “media watchdog” organizations, which were critical of it; see, e.g., “Profile: Project for the New American Century”, Right Web (International Relations Center), November 22, 2003, accessed June 1, 2007.
