Legacies of Empire: Imperial Roots of the Contemporary Global Order
Structures and practices associated with past empires continue to shape the contemporary world in surprising ways. Modern armies, multiculturalism, globalised finance, modern city-states, and the United Nations are grounded in or shaped by the legacies of past empires. This book also considers the likely legacies of the current American 'empire'.
