Vassal State
It means any state that is subordinate to another. The vassal in these cases is the ruler, rather than the state itself. Being a vassal most commonly implies providing military assistance to the dominant state when requested to do so; it sometimes implies paying tribute, but a state which does so is better described as a tributary state. In simpler terms the vassal state would have to provide military power to the dominant state. Today, more common terms are puppet state, protectorate or associated state.
Puppet State
A metaphor of a state that is supposedly independent but is in fact dependent upon an outside power.
It is nominally sovereign but effectively controlled by a foreign or otherwise alien power, for reasons such as financial interests.
A puppet state preserves the external paraphernalia of independence like a name, flag, anthem, constitution, law codes and moto but in reality is an organ of another state which created or sponsored the government. Puppet states are not recognised as legitimate under international law.
The term is a metaphor which compares a state or government to a puppet controlled by an outside puppeteer using strings. The first recorded use of the term “puppet government” is from 1884, in reference to the Khedivate of Egypt.
Neo-colony; Neocolonialism
Neocolonialism, neo-colonialism or neo-imperialism is the practice of using capitalism, globalization and cultural imperialism to influence a developing country in lieu of direct military control (imperialism) or indirect political control (hegemony). Neo-colonialism is discussed in the works of Jean-Paul Sartre (Colonialism and Neo-colonialism, 1964)[1] and Noam Chomsky (The Washington Connection and Third World Fascism, 1979).[2] Some neocolonial ideas, like charter cities, are popular among economists.
