This book provides a fresh examination of the cosmopolitan project
of post-war Europe from a variety of perspectives. It explores the
ways in which European cosmopolitanism can be theorized differently
if we take into account histories which have rarely been at the
forefront of such understandings. It also uses neglected historical
resources to draw out new and unexpected entanglements and
connections between understandings of European cosmopolitanism both
in Europe and elsewhere. The final part of the book places European
cosmopolitanism in tension with contemporary postcolonial
configurations around diaspora, migration, and austerity. Overall,
it seeks to draw attention to the ways in which Europe's posited
others have always been very much a part of Europe's colonial
histories and its postcolonial present.
Imperial Inequalities takes Western European empires and their
legacies as the explicit starting point for discussion of issues of
taxation and welfare. In doing so, it addresses the institutional
and fiscal processes involved in modes of extraction, taxation, and
the hierarchies of welfare distribution across Europe's global
empires. The idea of 'imperial inequalities' provides a conceptual
frame for thinking about the long-standing colonial histories that
are responsible, at least in part, for the shape of present
inequalities. This wide-ranging volume challenges existing
historiographical accounts that present states and empires as
separate categories. Instead, it views them as co-constitutive
units by focusing upon the politics of economic governance across
imperial spaces. Authors examine the fiscal innovations that
enabled European empires to finance their expansion, the politics
of redistribution that were important to constructing the veneer of
legitimacy of taxation, and the fiscal mechanisms that were
established to ensure that the imperial contours of inequality
continued to define the postcolonial world. These diverse
contributions provide new resources for how we think about issues
of taxation and welfare across the longue duree. This book is
relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10, Reduced

The SAGE Handbook of Global Sociology addresses the ‘social’,
its various expressions globally, and the ways in which such
understandings enable us to understand and account for global
structures and processes. It demonstrates the vitality of thought
from around the world by connecting theories and traditions,
including reflections on European colonization, to build shared,
rather than universal, understandings.  Across 36
chapters, the Handbook offers a series of perspectives and cases
from different locations, enabling the reader better to understand
the particularities of specific contexts and how they are connected
to global movements and structures. By moving beyond standard
accounts of sociology and social theory, this Handbook offers both
valuable insight into and scholarly contribution to the field of
global sociology. Part 1: Politics Part 2: Labour Part 3:
