Imperialism Law and Legal Definition
Imperialism refers to the policy of extending a nation's authority by extending trade, economics, military defense, or other political interests. It is the creation and maintenance of unequal economic, cultural and territorial relationship, generally between states and in the form of an empire, based on domination and subordination. Originally, imperialism was a system of separate governments ruled by a single emperor or despotic state for the benefit of an imperial authority.
