Abstract

Fundamentally, this article has explored three prominent social theories’ identification, implications and their comparisons. It has also focused on their characteristics and influence that take place on contemporary social science and knowledge.  Basically, theory is a thoughtful and rational type of intellectual thinking or the results of such thinking. It has nicely figured out the generalized explanations of how social or political nature works or even how divine or metaphysical matters are thought to work. It has also been critically discussed and made a comparison and set up a relation among the three theories. Methodologically, this scholarship is produced using qualitative and binary comparison approach. This scholarship has put forward some new understandings.  The usual economic theory of imperialism needs to be supplemented by the concepts which take into account social imperialism and imperialism by delegation. These concepts have helped us to understand social conflicts which are emerging within the Soviet bloc and between the imperialist structures including the capitalist as well as socialist powers as a whole and the dominated periphery countries.
