This pioneering comparative study of British imperialism in the
Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds draws on the perspectives of
British newcomers overseas and their native hosts, metropolitan
officials and corporate enterprises, migrants and settlers. Leading
scholars examine the divergences and commonalities in the legal and
economic regimes that allowed Britain to project imperium across
the globe. They explore the nature of sovereignty and law,
governance and regulation, diplomacy, military relations and
commerce, shedding new light on the processes of expansion that
influenced the making of empire. While acknowledging the
distinctions and divergences in imperial endeavours in Asia and the
Americas - not least in terms of the size of indigenous
populations, technical and cultural differences, and approaches to
indigenous polities - this book argues that these differences must
be seen in the context of what Britons overseas shared, including
constitutional principles, claims of sovereignty, disciplinary
regimes and military attitudes.
