The aggregate of various economic, political, and social policies by which an imperial
power maintains or extends its control over other areas or peoples. It includes the
practice of or belief in acquiring and retaining colonies. The emphasis is less on
its identity as an ideological political system than on its designation in a period
of history. (Webster, 3d ed; from Dr. J. Cassedy, NLM History of Medicine Division)
