This wide-ranging and original 2007 study provides an insight into
the climate of political thought during the lifespan of what was,
at this time, the most powerful empire in history. A distinguished
group of contributors explores the way in which thinkers in Britain
theorised influential views about empire and international
relations, exploring topics such as the evolution of international
law; the ways in which the world was notionally divided into the
'civilised' and the 'barbarian'; the role of India in shaping
visions of civil society; grandiose ideas about a global imperial
state; the development of an array of radical critiques of empire;
the varieties of liberal imperialism; and the rise and fall of free
trade. Together, the chapters form an analysis of political thought
in this context; both of the famous (Bentham, Mill, Marx, and
Hobson) and of those who, whilst influential at the time, are all
but forgotten today.
