It is against the United States that the charges of economic imperialism,cultural imperialism, and media imperialism are most often levelled, althoughother western nations also find themselves in the dock. It is certainly truethat in the 1990s the Americans have sought to eliminate trade barriersworldwide, and it is far from clear that weaker economies necessarily benefitin the short or medium term from being exposed to the full blast of freecompetition, although in the longer term there may be substantial payoffs.When it comes to culture generally and the media in particular, the issues fordebate are relatively clear-cut, whatever the time scale: does access to theculture of the United States necessitate the weakening or destruction of thecultures of other less economically powerful nations, and if it does, is it aprice worth paying
