During the existence of this structure , which has certain general political, economic and social features , processes of change occur with in the colonial society . Which in m any cases ultimately lead to the removal o r disappearance o f the colonial structure . Usually processes of integration and of conflict and resistance are both present, but in some cases the first process and in some the other process is the dominating one . After the colonial structure has come to an end , the last phase or aftermath of the colonial process follows.
