Liberal Ideals and the Politics of Decolonisation explores the
subject of liberalism and its uses and contradictions across the
late British Empire, especially in the context of imperial
dissolution and subsequent state- building. The book covers
multiple regions and issues concerning the British Empire and the
Commonwealth, in particular the period ranging from the
late-nineteenth century to the late- twentieth century. Original
intellectual contributions are offered along with new arguments on
critical issues in imperial history that will appeal to a wide
range of scholars, including those outside of history. Liberal
Ideals and the Politics of Decolonisation exposes commonalities,
contradictions and contexts of different types of liberalism that
animated the late British Empire and its rulers, radicals, subjects
and citizens as they attempted to forge new states from its shadow
and understand the impact of imperialism. This book examines the
complexities of the idea and quest for self-government in the last
stages of the British Empire. It also argues the importance of the
political, intellectual and empirical aspects of liberalism to
understand the process of decolonisation. The chapters in this book
were originally published in a special issue of The Journal of
Imperial and Commonwealth History.
