Publisher’s Summary
A
great deal of the world’s history is the history of empires. Indeed, it
could be said that all history is colonial history, if one takes a
broad enough definition and goes far enough back. And although the great
historic imperial systems – the land-based Russian one as well as the
seaborne empires of Western European powers – have collapsed during the
past half century, their legacies shape almost every aspect of life on a
global scale.Meanwhile, there is fierce argument, and much
speculation, about what has replaced the old territorial empires in
world politics. Do the United States and its allies, transnational
companies, financial and media institutions, or more broadly, the forces
of “globalization” constitute a new imperial system?
Stephen Howe interprets the meaning of the idea of “empire” through the ages, disentangling the multiple uses and abuses of the labels “empire” and “colonialism”, etc., and examines the aftermath of imperialism on the contemporary world.
