- Imperialism was driven by ideology from a metropolitan centre; expansion of state power
- Colonialism was pragmatic, developed locally in a haphazard way
- Colonialism functioned as an activity on the periphery;
- Imperialism operated from the centre as a policy state, driven by projects of power
- Colonialism must be analysed as a practice: or many different forms of practises with respect to radically different cultures, over many different countries
- Imperialism costitutes a global political system
