First published in 1999, this volume is an ambitious attempt to
provide a wide-ranging introduction to local government in the
overseas empires of Portugal, Spain, England and France, with
further reference to the English East India Company and the Dutch
East and West India Companies. In an exercise in compensatory
history, the book examines government of empire not from the
metropolitan perspective but at the local level, where government
was most likely to impact on the everyday lives of both persons of
European birth and indigenous peoples. The first part examines the
institutional framework of local and regional government at the
municipal, parish and county levels, extending this to include law
and order, social welfare and education. The second part examines
the social dimension of local government: governance in
pluricultural societies; elite formation; creolization;
representation and oligarchies; oversight, and negotiated
authority. The work includes a comprehensive introduction, together
with an extensive bibliography and a detailed index.
