Short Description
A study of Britain's gradual abandonment of her global and imperial role, relating formal decolonization and the wider evolution of the Commonwealth to changes in international relations and in Britain's domestic political, economic and social scene.
Full Description
Britain and Empire fills a major gap in the literature on Britain's gradual abandonment of her global and imperial role. It relates formal decolonization and the wider evolution of the Commonwealth to changes in international relations and in Britain's domestic political, economic, and social scene. The concept of imperial decline is therefore seen in the context of adjustment to changing international and domestic politics and the ending of the imperial mind-set.
