That depends on which variant of imperialism. I doubt many are nostalgic for King Leopold's "Heart of Darkness" version:

Africa is a big, fat, juicy continent with no one capable of and/or willing to defend it. Sooner or later, someone will get ideas.

I was just noodling about whether there might be a benevolent or even a benign model for imperialism in our times...
