A fundamental truth about British power in the nineteenth century
and beyond was that Britain was a global power. Her international
position rested on her global economic, naval and political
presence; and her foreign policy operated on a global scale. This
volume throws into sharp relief the material elements of British
power, but also its less tangible components, from Britain's global
network of naval bases to the vast range of intersecting
commercial, financial and intelligence relationships, which
reinforced the country's political power. Leading historians
reshape the scholarly debate surrounding the nature of British
global power at a crucial period of transformation in international
politics, and in so doing they deepen our understanding of the
global nature of British power, the shifts in the international
landscape from the high Victorian period to the 1960s, and the
changing nature of the British state in this period.
