      NOTES

      1 1 As Lenin (1917/1939: 123) puts it later, “the economic quintessence of imperialism is monopoly capital.”

      2 2 Lenin (1917/1939: 91) saw finance capital rather than industrial capital as being of central importance: “The characteristic feature of imperialism is not industrial capital, but finance capital.”

      3 3 Lenin (as does Hobson) often uses the terms interchangeably or relates one to the other. For example: “Colonial policy and imperialism existed before this latest stage of capitalism, and even before capitalism” (Lenin 1917/1939: 81–2); see also Williams and Chrisman (1994b: 1).

      4 4 For an excellent collection of essays on this topic, see Ashcroft et al. (2006).

      5 5 This includes, more broadly, texts and discourse (see Appendix).

      6 6 For one exception, see Edelman and Haugerud (2005).

      7 7 It is this focus on nation-states that leads many who study globalization to argue that world system theory is not a theory of globalization because of the decline of the nation-state in the global age.

      8 8 In using the terms “America/Americans” Kuisel clearly has in mind US/US citizens.

      9 9 The global influences of all other North, Central, and South American countries are too diverse to be encompassed by Americanization as an analytical concept.

      10 10 These include Duhamel (1931); Williams (1962); McCreary (1962); Duignan and Gann (1992); Kuisel (1993); Kroes et al. (1993).

      11 11 Including Campbell (2003); and Beck et al. (2003).
