Text of Note
This work provides challenging analysis of British foreign policy at a time when Britain possessed the biggest Empire that humankind has ever known. This work focuses on aspects that have been hitherto marginalized. It also contributes to debates surrounding the origins of the First World War, the multipolar diplomacy of the late nineteenth century, and the nature of imperial connections.
