What the rulers of empire can teach us about navigating today’s
increasingly interconnected world The empires of the past were
far-flung experiments in multinationalism and multiculturalism, and
they have much to teach us about navigating our own increasingly
globalized world. Visions of Empire sheds critical new light on
their rulers—who they were, how they justified their empires, how
they viewed themselves, and the styles of rule they adopted toward
their subjects. Krishan Kumar provides panoramic and multifaceted
portraits of five major European empires—Ottoman, Habsburg,
Russian/Soviet, British, and French—showing how each, like
ancient Rome, saw itself as the carrier of civilization to the rest
of the world. This compelling book demonstrates how the rulers of
empire, in their quest for a universal world order, left behind a
legacy of multiculturalism and diversity that is uniquely relevant
for us today.
