The "New Imperialism" was when one place in the world dominated another part of the world without having direct contact with them. The New Imperialism began with the Europeans trying to westernize every place they set hand on. The areas they conquered were in some form westernized. In some places it brought many great things as well as many bad things. The Europeans westernized Asia and Africa the most. You could say that the Europeans were "touchy" with the places the conquered.
This "New Imperialism" came around in the 1800's. Europeans got very wealthy powerful quickly compared to the other areas of the world because they were in a bad economic situation. Of course they were not doing this for the benefit of others, they did it only for themselves.
I think maybe what you mean by domination without contact is something a little different. Maybe what you are getting at is the idea that is was domination that did not always follow some total conquest or invasion? The reason that Europeans were so wealthy? Industrialization is the answer.
