"The essence of neo-colonialism is that the State……" — Kwame Nkrumah
"The essence of neo-colonialism is that the State which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty. In reality its economic system and thus its political policy is directed from outside."
