The Ends of EmpireJohn Connell Robert Aldrich2020 ed.Label: Springer Verlag SingaporeDescription: This book offers a fresh analysis of constitutional economic demographic and cultural developments in the overseas territories of Britain France the Netherlands Denmark Spain the United States Australia and New Zealand. Ranging from Greenland to Gibraltar the Falklands to the Faroes and encompassing islands in the Atlantic Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Caribbean these territories command attention because of their unique status and for the ways that they occasionally become flashpoints for rival international claims dubious financial activities illegal migration and clashes between metropolitan and local mores. Connell and Aldrich argue that a negotiated dependency brings greater benefits to these territories than might independence.
"The 'The Ends of Empire' by John Connell and Robert Aldrich is a great fit for fans of history and modern literature."
