Abstract:
This article addresses the phenomenon of Imperialism, its determinations and expressions. Based on bibliographic research and use of the categories of the historical-dialectical method, the study aims to present a synthesis, historical-critical-dialectic, of the fundamentals of the emergence of imperialism, its post-war transformations and, mainly, of its determinations and expressions more contemporary. The results indicate that the 2008 crisis imposed new implications on the imperialist offensive, from where stands out the transition to an ultraneoliberal phase that, in addition to intensifying the guidelines of the neoliberal orthodoxy of the 1980s, adds new elements, such as authoritarianism and political conservatism and the consequent reduction in democratic dynamics; the intensification of spoliations and surveillance, control and digital manipulation of populations.
