Empire and globalisation

A deeply researched study, which (a.) blends approaches from history, the social sciences and economics in an original and methodologically sophisticated way; (b.) develops a new argument about the relationship between empire and globalisation and is widely recognised as a ground breaking exploration of how empire promoted a recognisably modern process of globalisation, and for excavating the foundations of our contemporary, unevenly globalised world; (c.) is based on extensive archival research in UK, Australia and South Africa, including material accessed for first time; (d.) arose from lengthy period of data and case study collection and analysis on remittances and trade.
