Description

Empire, Development & Colonialism: The Past in the Present explores the connections between historical and contemporary debates on international development, humanitarian intervention, and imperialism. This collection draws on diverse methodologies and approaches to examine parallels between 19th-century liberal imperialism and post-Cold War-era humanitarian intervention. The authors investigate how concepts such as moral necessity, aid packages, forms of intervention, and NGO encampments have evolved over time, revealing striking similarities with the logic of Empire. By analysing these connections, the contributors aim to provide a deeper understanding of the underlying drivers of contemporary international security and development policies. This book offers a unique perspective on the historical antecedents of modern-day liberal interventionism, shedding light on the enduring legacies of colonialism in shaping our global landscape today.
