“The Idea of Anti-imperialism is... to be considered on several grounds. First, it is traditionally pervasive in the United States, though given its most extreme form in anti-Western academe. Second, it is used as a negative label for any effort by the United States, or the West, to encourage liberties, to block fanaticisms, and to make aid dependent on positive economic policies. Those concerned with the future development of their countries, and of the world, cannot afford to let obsolete resentments distort their aims.” WorldFirstsIdeasCountryStatesFormUsedGivenUnitedEffortLibertyUnited StatesEconomicPolicyDevelopmentConcernedNegativeAimWestWesternExtremesAidsBlockLabelsDependentResentmentImperialismFanaticismObsoleteEconomic PolicyFuture Development Author:Robert Conquest
