The principal ambition of this book is to provide an avowedly
eclectic, although largely political, explanation of American and
British imperialism, as comprehensive and ultimately as unified as
that offered by Marxist interpretations. Geopolitical
considerations are assumed to be basic (but not exclusive) concerns
of foreign policy elites in Britain and the United States; and the
ability of people in Latin America, Africa and Asia to coordinate
their activities, that is, to act politically, is assumed to be the
central (but not sole) feature determining the character of their
response to Western imperialism. The book provides profiles of
various southern political regimes and categorises their different
reactions to the impact of imperialism in the nineteenth century
and to the impetus for decolonisation after 1945. The author
concludes by considering the dilemma of American policy toward the
Third World in the early 1980s, when traditional modes of conduct
can no longer prescribe a clear plan of action.
