This 1989 book examines the experience of British business in Asia
since 1860. Following a wide-ranging introduction by the editors,
there are essays by leading specialist historians on British
business in Iran, India, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Russian Asia
and Japan. The primary focus is on the impact of British commerce
in the region, and the essays, based on research in British
business archives and government papers, discuss the activities and
performance of British companies. However, the book seeks to avoid
a 'Euro-centred' approach by using Asian as much as British sources
and by paying particular attention to the indigenous response to
British commercial activity. The secondary theme is the
relationship between British business and British and foreign
government. The book, therefore, contributes to the wider debate on
the business aspects of imperialism. In general, the essays,
although drawing on extensive research in primary sources, are
written as general surveys, and are thus easily accessible to
non-specialists and students.
