Internal colonialism is a notion of structural, political and economic inequalities between regions within a nation state due to the uneven effects of economic development on a regional basis, the area around the capital mostly being the one to benefit the most from the economic development the state may be undergoing. The term was first used by Leo Marquard in South Africa’s Colonial Policy (1957) and later, by Pablo Gonzalez Casanova for a series of articles about Mexico in 1965.
