The Anglosphere - a transnational imagined community consisting of
the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK - came to
international prominence in the wake of Brexit. The Anglosphere's
origins lie in the British Empire and the conflicts of the 20th
century. It encompasses an extensive but ill-defined community
bonded by language, culture, media, and 'civilisational' heritage
founded on the shared beliefs and practices of free-market
economics and liberal democracy. Supporters of the Anglosphere
argue that it provides a better 'fit' for English-speaking
countries at a time when global politics is in a state of flux and
under strain from economic crises, conflict and terrorism, and
humanitarian disasters. This edited volume provides the first
detailed analyses of the Anglosphere, bringing together leading
international academic experts to examine its historical origins
and contemporary political, social, economic, military, and
cultural manifestations. They reveal that the Anglosphere is
underpinned by a range of continuities and discontinuities which
are shaped by the location of its five core states. The volume
reveals that although the Anglosphere is founded on a common view
of the past and the present, it continually seeks to realise a
shared future which is never fully attained. The volume thus makes
an important contribution to debates about the future of the UK
outside of the EU, and the potential for the English-speaking
peoples to shape the 21st century.
