Despite the long history of debate and the recent resurgence of
interest in empires and imperialism, no one seems very clear as to
what exactly an empire is. The Burdens of Empire strives to offer
not only a definition but also a working description. This book
examines how empires were conceived by those who ruled them and
lived under them; it looks at the relations, real or imagined,
between the imperial metropolis (when one existed) and its outlying
provinces or colonies; and it asks how the laws that governed the
various parts and various ethnic groups, of which all empires were
made, were conceived and interpreted. Anthony Pagden argues that
the evolution of the modern concept of the relationship between
states, and in particular the modern conception of international
law, cannot be understood apart from the long history of European
empire building.
