Course Description:
This study-unit directs attention to the ways in which the processes of pre-imperialism and of imperialist expansion were also those of globalisation. Features such as economic development and/or exploitation, systems of imperial rule, processes of migration and settlement, indigenous resistance and anti-colonialism, all make distance over space less important and interdependence across the globe more significant. In this study-unit, this fast-growing field of globalisation will be analysed through the study and application of theories and concepts of global history. These include the established theories of race, class, economy, nationalism and imperialism, along with the innovative concepts of gender, environmental relations, transnational history and international relations. These methods and theories will be applied and analysed in a number of case-studies from the various imperial (and neo-imperial) experiences that developed in the European powers’ quest of controlling the Americas, Africa and Asia. The period under study stretches from the sixteenth to 21st.
