Although India and China have very different experiences of
colonialism, they respond to that history in a similar way--by
treating it as a collective trauma. As a result they have a strong
sense of victimization that affects their foreign policy decisions
even today.
"Wronged by Empire" breaks new ground by blending this historical
phenomenon, colonialism, with mixed methods--including archival
research, newspaper data mining, and a new statistical method of
content analysis--to explain the foreign policy choices of India
and China: two countries that are continuously discussed but very
rarely rigorously compared. By reference to their colonial past,
Manjari Chatterjee Miller explains their puzzling behavior today.
More broadly, she argues that the transformative historical
experience of a large category of actors--ex-colonies, who have
previously been neglected in the study of international
relations--can be used as a method to categorize states in the
international system. In the process Miller offers a more inclusive
way to analyze states than do traditional theories of international
relations.
