Europe's rapacious hunger for other people's lands is one of the
key shaping forces of our contemporary world. Everything is touched
by our colonial past, from the way we see the world to the food we
eat. Our contemporary preoccupations and ills - from globalization
to humanitarian intervention to international terrorism - have
colonialism somewhere in their genetic make-up. The character and
policies of contemporary international organizations - from the
United Nations to the European Union - have also been deeply
affected by the colonial inheritance of their members, whether as
perpetrators or "victims". Weaving together the complex strands of
history and politics into one compact narrative, this book
addresses the key theories of colonialism, examining them against
contemporary realities. It goes on to looks at how the different
policies of colonisers have had profoundly contradictory effects on
the way different empires ended in the 20th century. These endings
in turn affected the entire nature of modern day international
relations. It also exposes the moral ambiguities of colonialism and
the hypocrisies, which underlay colonial policies in the 19th and
20th centuries.
