Militia's price set, favouring expansion (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imperialistic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'favouring expansion' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'militia's price set' is the wordplay.
'set' indicates anagramming the letters (instruction to set the letters).
'militias'+'price'='militiasprice'
'militiasprice' with letters rearranged gives 'IMPERIALISTIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for imperialistic that I've seen is " Expansionist".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
