内容説明
This, together with the companion volume, Crisis and Deconstruction, 1914-1990, provides an ambitious, new and comprehensive interpretation of the forces behind British imperial expansion. The books explore the interaction of economic, social and political influences on the growth, and eventual end, of the Empire. Each volume can be used independently; together, they are a milestone in the history of imperialism, modern Britain and the British Empire itself, and make important contributions to comparative history, modern economic development and international relations. Highlights the role of the City of London and 'Gentlemanly Capitalism', a term established by the authors and widely used and referred to, in Britain's expansion abroad. Casts new light on many of the controversial episodes in the history of imperialism, such as the partition of Africa. Includes case studies covering not only the constitutional empire - Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and Africa but also Britain's areas of informal influence in South America, the Ottoman Empire and China.
It is aimed at specialists in the area of modern British history, European expansion/imperialism and international relations and the development of modern world economy. It should also be of interest to serious but non-specialist commentators.

内容説明
British Imperialism A two volume survey which provides the most comprehensive and radical survey of the subject. Presents a new interpretation of the forces behind British imperial expansion. Volume One establishes the concept of 'gentlemanly capitalism', examines the growth of empire and many of its controversial episodes, including the partition of Africa, and concludes -- against conventional wisdom -- that Britain was still a dynamic imperial power on the eve of World War I.
