This book examines how the Crown has performed as Head of State
across the UK and post war Commonwealth during times of political
crisis. It explores the little-known relationships, powers and
imperial legacies regarding modern heads of state in parliamentary
regimes where so many decisions occur without parliamentary or
public scrutiny. This original study highlights how the Queen's
position has been replicated across continents with surprising
results. It also shows the topicality and contemporary relevance of
this historical research to interpret and understand crises of
governance and the enduring legacy of monarchy and colonialism to
modern politics. This collection uniquely brings together a diverse
set of states including specific chapters on England, Scotland,
Northern Ireland, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Brunei, Ghana, Nigeria,
Zimbabwe/Rhodesia, Australia, Tuvalu, and the Commonwealth
Caribbean. Viceregalism is written and conceptualised to remind
that the Crown is not just a ceremonial part of the constitution,
but a crucial political and international actor of real importance.
