Legacies of Empire: Imperial Roots of the Contemporary Global Order
Sandra Halperin
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'.
